BC sardines are a highly nutritious and delicious fin fish that migrate through the cool coastal waters of British Columbia. With an iridescent, silvery body and fine, soft textured pink flesh, the flavor is described as relatively stronger and heavier than most white fish species providing great versatility in creating sardine dishes. They are also recognized as a nutritional powerhouse rich in calcium, protein, iron, potassium, phosphorus and omega-3 fatty acids. The unique story is an amazing natural "boom and bust" cycle that can be traced back 2,000 years—explaining why BC's large-scale sardine fisheries of the early 1900s came to an end in the 1950s and then started again in the early 1990s when sardines again re-appeared on the BC coast. Today, the conservative fishery is committed to sustainability and provides fresh sardines primarily between May and November while frozen, salted and smoked product is available year round.
The Canadian Pacific Sardine Association is a non-profit, legally constituted organization representing sardine permit holders in the management and marketing of the BC sardine fishery. The association is committed to working with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans to maintain the fishery's sustainability; working with all permit holders and industry members to ensure consistent delivery of a premium, quality product and promoting BC sardines.
