Not only is it National small business Saturday. It is also National Sardines day. This is the best pogie bait , " field food " to take on patrols, FTX, or down range. Not only does sardines have great nutritional value, most people will not want you to share with them.... Leaves more for me !
NATIONAL SARDINES DAY
National Sardines Day is observed annually on November 24.
They might be packed with water, oil, tomato sauce or even mustard but they have been cleaned and cooked and are packed in an airtight container and are ready for you to eat. While some people are afraid to taste these small, silverfish, others consider sardines a delicious snack enjoyed on their own or with crackers.
Sardines are several types of small, oily fish, related to herrings. Most commonly served in cans, fresh sardines are also often grilled, pickled or smoked. When canned, they can be packed in water, olive, sunflower or soybean oil or tomato, chili or mustard sauce.
The term sardine was first used in English during the beginning of the 15th century, possibly coming from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia where there was an abundance of sardines.
Sardines are a great source of vitamins and minerals.
From one’s daily vitamin allowance containing:
13 % B2
.25 % niacin
150% vitamin B12
phosphorus
calcium
potassium
iron
selenium
omega-3fatty acids
vitamin D
protein
– B vitamins are important in helping to support proper nervous system function and are used for energy metabolism.
– Omega 3 fatty acids reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease and regular consumption may reduce the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease and can even boost brain function as well as help lower blood sugar levels.
Relative to other fish commonly eaten by humans, sardines are very low in contaminants, such as mercury.
Sardine oil is used in the manufacturing of paint, varnish and linoleum.
The sardine canning industry peaked in the United States in the 1950s. After the industry’s peak, it has been on the decline. The Stinson Seafood plant in Prospect Harbor, Maine, which was the last large sardine cannery in the United States, closed its doors on April 15, 2010, after 135 years in operation.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Share a can or two of canned sardines with a friend. See if you prefer the mustard, chili or the tomato packed ones better! Use #NationalSardinesDay to post on social media.

Say it an't so, my literary minded friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell Crunchy, salty and very small - the sardine - roams the seas until netted and served to whoever appreciates them.
When I was young I ate cod fishcakes with lots of ketchup :-)
That is the only fish I ever ate. I can't even tolerate fish oil gel-tabs :-)

Danish tradition, open faced sandwich: sardines mashed up a bit on pumpernickel bread with thin slices of onion, salt and pepper. Pretty standard at my grandparents home when I was a kid.
