National Sardines Day
On National Sardines Day, these silver little fishes are commemorated on November 24th. They may not be able to swim right up to your plate, but they sure do pack in the flavor.
Although some people are reluctant to try these tiny, silver fish, some people are afraid to try sardines, others consider sardines a delectable snack that can be enjoyed on their own or with crackers.
Sardines are several species of small, oily fish that are related to herrings. Although we're most familiar with canned sardines, some prefer fresh sardines grilled. This small fish can also be pickled and smoked. When canned, they can be packed with water, olive, sunflower, or soybean oil, as well as tomato, chili, or mustard sauce.
Sardine was first used in English at the start of the 15th century, possibly coming from Sardinia's Mediterranean island of Sardinia, where there was a sardine abundance was present.
In the 1950s, the sardine canning industry in the United States hit its high point. After 135 years in operation, the Stinson Seafood plant in Prospect Harbor, Maine, the country's last large sardine cannery, closed on April 15, 2010.
