Fish Index — UK, Ireland & Nordic Fish & Seafood Industry Directory
Sardines, small oily fish, are vital to the UK and Irish seafood industry, primarily caught in the English Channel and off the coasts of Ireland and Cornwall. They are a significant source of omega-3.
Peak season for Sardines in the UK is typically from June to November. Availability can vary, but summer and autumn offer the best sourcing opportunities.
Many Sardine fisheries are MSC certified, indicating healthy stocks and sustainable practices. Buyers should prioritise MSC-certified or responsibly managed sources.
Popular for grilling, baking, and canning, Sardines are versatile. They are often served fresh, smoked, or as a tinned product, rich in flavour and nutrients.
Newlyn and Brixham are key landing ports for Sardines in the UK. The industry sees significant trade in both fresh and processed (canned) products.
