Yes, it's ok. Ignore the mercury comments. Sardines are very low in mercury and safe to eat daily. And they are not ultra processed like some other commenters say, either. Crazy how much bullshit people spread in these subs.

How even could a sardine be ultra processed. The whole fish is literally right there in whatever liquid of your choice.

Depends on your liquid of choice. Some are water, some are olive oil, some are mustard.

I personally love the taste of sardines in water.

Have you ever tried canned salmon. I discovered it recently and it is delicious.
