Sardines: A Canadian Table Delicacy
I belong to a growing camp of people who appreciate and seek out nutritious, artisanal foods—I never thought I would welcome canned sardines into our order.
It all began with a commitment to wellness and clean eating.
My long-term relationship with sardines was a love-hate affair. My commitment to feed my body clean, healthy, nutrient-dense foods, places sardines near the top of my food list. A quick Google search for “sardines and health” churns out a wealth of information about how incredibly nutritious these little fish truly are. Their virtually non-existent toxin levels, such as methylmercury, lead, and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), make them lovable but their oily skin and fishy aroma made them hard to be around, never mind introducing them to my friends. I found myself using mayonnaise, salt and pepper, lemon juice—even hot sauce—to get them down in sandwiches. The end results were never bad, but never good either. What I really wanted was a healthful relationship that didn’t require all this “fixing up”.
One day, returned home from travels abroad, my wife presented me with a tin of Portuguese sardines. More like a gift than a canned food item, the tin was carefully wrapped in paper, a bright yellow label displayed on the front. "Nuri" was written in an old-fashioned font. I opened the tin, bracing my senses for the tell-tale odour of canned fish. Bewildered, I smelled nothing more than a faint waft of ripe, green olives. Feeling bold, I took a bite right out of the tin, the flavour unfolding—ultra-clean, with a sweet, somewhat fruity finish. I fell fast, and I fell hard.
