Cornish sardines have PGI status - products produced or processed or prepared within a specific geographical area, and with features or qualities attributable to that area. To call a fish a Cornish Sardine means it has to have been caught within six miles of the Cornish coast, landed in Cornwall and primary processed in Cornwall (filleted, smoked, frozen etc or if fresh and whole in boxes of less than 10 kg) - information courtesy of Nick Howell of Pilchard Works, Penzance, Cornwall.
Cornish Sardines are healthy as they are an oily fish and rich in Omega-3.
