Tinned fish has been around for centuries, but thanks to social media, it’s having a moment. There’s a good reason: it’s (generally) affordable, convenient, and packed with protein and other nutrients.
Sardines, which can be a divisive fish, are getting their time in the spotlight. The nutritional powerhouse boasts protein, vitamins B12 and D, iron, calcium and the full recommended daily amount of omega-3 fatty acids.
Sardines have a robust flavor, one that some find too fishy. But others, like Coach Tanysha Renee, love it.
“I love all seafood,” says Coach Tanysha Renee. “Lobster, shrimp, crab, mussels, oysters, sardines, caviar—in no particular order. I’ll do canned sardines or tuna in olive oil and water. Sometimes I can eat it straight from the can or mixed for a sandwich or on top of a salad.”
In this recipe inspired by Coach T, we pair sardines with creamy hummus and one of her favorite condiments: harissa, a tangy, smoky, spicy North African chile sauce. Buy a jar and use it to level up eggs, rice, or any savory dish.
If nothing can change your mind about sardines, you can easily sub in canned tuna or trout for a milder option. Either way, add this super easy, high-protein snack into your routine—your taste buds (and your muscles) will thank you.
