National Sardines Day 2021

Sardines are an acquired taste for me personally. In my childhood I could not even bear the thought of eating a fish whole, but over the years I have amassed those experiences which amend themselves to new and exotic things. With those experiences came the enjoyment of sardines.

I certainly would indulge them in a variety of ways even though I may not have tried them. To date, my favorite form of the delicacy has to be those fresh sardines served at restaurants on the Amalfi Coast of Southern Italy ... for breakfast no less.

The memories are still fresh in my mind.

Today we have another National Sardines Day. The day is designed to have people take note of sardines and their nutrition as well as the deliciousness one might not readily recognize or acknowledge.

Suffice it to say I could eat them several times weekly.

While I enjoy the fish on crackers and such most of all I also indulge them cooked in a variety of ways. I have even partaken of them raw at the sushi bar. At each encounter I have enjoyed sardines more and more.
