TSM MSC Sardines in EVOO 120g

The Stock Merchant MSC Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil 120g

Wild North Atlantic sardines, packed in Portugal in certified organic extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.

The Stock Merchant is a food business based in Alexandria, in inner Sydney, that works with specialist producers to put good provisions in the pantry. For their sardines, they’ve gone to Portugal, where canning fish in olive oil is a long tradition. The sardines are caught wild in the North Atlantic using purse seine nets, which are drawn around a school of fish near the surface. The fishery is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council, which means it has been independently assessed against MSC’s standard for fishing within sustainable limits.

Inside the tin you’ll find thick, generous fillets with a rich, savoury flavour and a tender texture. The olive oil picks up flavour from the fish, so keep it for cooking or dressing rather than tipping it out.

Why it’s Better

• MSC certified: the sardines come from a fishery that has been independently certified to the MSC standard (MSC-C-51342).
• Wild caught: the fish are taken from the North Atlantic by purse seine, not farmed.
• Organic olive oil: they’re packed in certified organic extra virgin olive oil, not sunflower or a blended oil.
• Three ingredients: sardines, olive oil and sea salt, and that’s the whole list.
• A good source of omega-3: each 60g serve contains 582mg of omega-3 (EPA and DHA).
• BPA-free tin: the packaging is labelled BPA free.
• Ready to eat: no cooking needed, so it’s an easy protein to keep in the cupboard.
