Canned sardines are not only delicious, but one of the most heart-healthy and nutrient-rich fish one can consume. Likely named for the Italian island of Sardinia, where schools of the small silvery fish once swam in abundance, sardines are a rich source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12 and D and selenium. At Delamaris, we have been bringing the bounty of the sea to consumers since 1879, with the highest quality fish and time-tested recipes. Our Sardines in Sunflower Oil are delicious right out of the tin and a wonderfully versatile culinary ingredient. Enjoy them mashed on crackers, crostini or toast, with a layer of mayo and top with sliced cucumber or avocado. For a mouthwatering dip to delight your guests, mix the sardines with light cream cheese or sour cream, capers, chopped shallots and pepper – and serve with salty tortilla chips, crudité or crusty bread. To create an Italian-inspired pasta, add Delamaris Sardines in Sunflower Oil to a pan sauce of onions, garlic, capers and wilted spinach sautéed in olive oil. Top the cooked pasta with a squeeze of lemon and freshly toasted buttery breadcrumbs. Our sardines make delicious fish patties and quick and easy fish tacos – pan seared, or right out of the tin! The American Heart Association recommends at least two servings/week of fatty, oily fish like sardines, mackerel, tuna, salmon or herring. Delamaris fish products are entirely natural, with no additives or preservatives. Refrigerate after opening.
