Have You Ever Seen A Fat Lazy Norwegian?
Norwegian Delights
Norwegian Sardines are the world's finest sardines. Brisling is the name of the little fish caught in the cold clean waters of the Norwegian fjords and packed as Norwegian sardines. And the smaller the sardine, the firmer, tastier, deliciously better it is! Every can is packed by hand, ensuring the best quality. Norwegian sardines are lightly smoked, using oak wood, to add a unique and delicious taste sensation.
What makes these Norwegian Delights simply the best in the world? The crystal clear, cold and deep waters of the fjords contain the appropriate feeding habitat. The Brisling must be "thronged" for at least three days before being taken to the canneries. This process consists of pulling the catch close to shore and leaving them in the nets to digest the food already taken in. The swift, clear waters of the fjords take away the waste and the fish are netted so there is only space to move, but prevents them feeding. This natural characteristic of the coast line - to allow thronging - can't be matched anywhere else in the world.
As a result, the Norwegian Brisling can be caught at the best stage of superb quality. An interesting note: Norwegian law forbids fishing Brisling during the period of January - May.
At Last! A Healthy Snack Food!
But don't just eat sardines because they taste delicious on their own or in sauces. Or even because they offer such quick and easy menu solutions. For great taste isn't the only thing you will enjoy. Great nutrition is an added benefit. We all know that eating fish is good for you. But Norwegian Delights are one of the healthiest fish or foods that you can eat! Besides many of the vitamins, protein, minerals and calcium you may require in your daily diet, sardines also contain the miracle of Omega 3!
The Miracle of Omega 3
Sardines are an important source of omega-3 fatty acids, which combat hardening of the arteries among other extraordinary
health benefits. In The Omega Plan (Toronto: HarperCollins, 1998), Artemis P. Simopoulos, M.D. and Jo Robinson advise,
"Don't overlook sardines...They contain the most omega-3 fatty acids of all the fatty fish...Look for those packed in olive
oil, canola oil, mustard, or tomato sauce." That's how Millionnaires sardines are processed (and there's also a water-packed
product). Because they're pressure cooked, their shelf life in the tin is virtually unlimited. Remember too that oils present
in sardines are polyunsaturated - very high in "good" cholesterol.Delights
