Tesco Finest Cornish Sardines are a healthy and budget friendly choice. They’re cooked in a tomato, black olive and caper sauce with chilli, and can be turned into a delicious, quick and easy meal served over pasta, or with buttered toast.
Sardines are a naturally oil rich fish, extremely nutritious with high levels of heart-healthy Omega 3, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, protein and calcium.
Tesco partnered with the Cornish Sardine Management Association (CSMA), a group of 15 fishing boats, to bring to their shelves an end-to-end British supply of Cornish sardines.
Only these sardines are allowed to carry the MSC logo – and the CSMA have managed to hold onto the certification for more than 10 years because the fishing technique is so low impact, and the waters are well managed by the CSMA.
The sardines are caught within a six-mile limit off the Cornish coast and are landed into Newlyn, Mevagissy, Falmouth or Plymouth, before coming to a Tesco shelf near you!
MSC certified Cornish Sardines help Tesco customers to eat a sustainable, home grown, and locally sourced product that are also an affordable, tasty source of protein.
The sardines are caught within a six-mile limit off the Cornish coast, and the fishery has maintained MSC certification for more than 10 years through fishing with a low impact fishing technique, such as using Sonar technology to target schools of Sardines.
Tesco customers can take comfort in knowing that they can enjoy a locally sourced fish that’s sustainably sourced.
