Dardanel Çanakkale Sardines are canned sardines presented under the name of Çanakkale, a coastal province in north-western Türkiye. They offer a convenient way to enjoy the small, flavourful fish without preparing it fresh.
Serve them simply with bread and lemon, flake them over a salad, or add them to pasta for a quick meal. In Türkiye, sardines are also enjoyed as part of a shared meze spread. They are protein-rich, with 24 g of protein per 100 g, and their savoury taste pairs well with fresh herbs and crisp vegetables. For a lighter plate, combine a modest portion with plenty of salad.
