Sardines in extra virgin olive oil
These sardines in olive oil are caught in Newlyn, a small port town on the Cornish coast. The adventure begins when night falls, as this is when the fishermen sail up Mount's Bay in small boats in search of the tastiest Pilchard sardines. Sardines with olive oil are perfect for salads, on toast, or straight from the can!
David Pascoe's family has been fishing sardines for generations and he himself has been fishing for nearly 20 years! “My father fished, my uncle fished. I enjoyed playing around the harbor and learning the trade. The rest is history!”
No worries, none of Sea Tales' products use BPA in the cans. BPA (Bisphenol A) is a chemical commonly used as a plastic coating in packaging, like in metal cans. This coating is necessary to prevent food from reacting with the metal, which can be toxic. However, research shows that BPA can interfere with hormone balance. That's why we've made a conscious decision to use BPA-free cans. Additionally, our cans are regularly tested to ensure they fully comply with strict FDA regulations.

Sardines are little powerhouses from the sea! As an oily fish, they are packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA, which your body cannot produce on its own. These essential fatty acids support brain function and keep your heart and blood vessels in top condition. But there’s more: sardines are packed with more calcium, iron, and vitamin B12 than many other types of fish. Perfect for pescatarians—or anyone looking for a healthy boost. And did you know the olive oil our sardines swim in is rich in unsaturated fats and vitamin E? Together, they turn our sardines into not just a flavorful bite, but a super healthy addition to any meal!
After opening the can, store the sardines in a non-metal, airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 2 days!
