Further reading on sardines
There are numerous methods for canning sardines. They are then smoked or cooked—either by steam cooking or deep-frying—and dried. After that, they are packed in water, tomato, chili, or mustard sauce, or in olive, sunflower, or soybean oil.
Supermarket canned sardines can actually be round herrings or sprats. Fish sizes differ throughout species. The head and gills should be removed from premium sardines prior to packing. They might also be disemboweled prior to packaging. If not, the live fish should be kept in a tank long enough for them to clear their digestive tracts in order to rid them of any partially or undigested food or excrement.
Usually, sardines are packed closely into a tiny can that is scored to make opening it simple. The can may have a pull button, similar to those on beverage cans, or it may have a key fastened to the side or bottom. It therefore has the advantage of being a food that is self-contained, nonperishable, and portable.
It’s also the name of a kid’s game in which one player hides and everyone else who discovers them packed into the same area until there’s only one player left.
