About National Sardines Day
"Sardine" and "pilchard" are common names that refer to various small, oily forage fish in the herring family Clupeidae.
The term "sardine" was first used in English during the early 15th century, though they have been fished for centuries. These small fish are said to be named after Sardinia, an island of Italy, because of the abundance that could be found there.
