Frequently Asked Questions About Dardenel Canned Sardines
How do you eat Dardenel canned sardines?
Dardenel canned sardines are ready to eat straight from the can. Serve them on toast, with crackers, or in a salad or sandwich; lemon, herbs, and sliced onion pair well with their rich flavor. You can drain the packing liquid or use it in the dish.
Are the bones in Dardenel canned sardines safe to eat?
Yes, the small bones in Dardenel canned sardines are usually soft enough to eat. They soften during canning and provide calcium. If you find a bone unpleasant or unusually hard, simply remove it before eating.
Do you need to cook Dardenel canned sardines?
No, Dardenel canned sardines are already cooked and ready to eat. If adding them to a hot dish, stir them in near the end and heat briefly; prolonged cooking can make the fish break apart and dry out.
Should you drain the oil from Dardenel canned sardines?

Can you eat Dardenel canned sardines straight from the can?
