Sardines are a group of small, oily fish that belong to the herring family. There are several species of sardines, but the most commonly eaten ones are the European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus) and the Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax). Sardines are found in oceans and seas worldwide and are often caught in large schools near the water's surface.

Sardines are usually around 15 cm long and have a cylindrical, elongated body that is blue-green on the back and silver on the sides and belly. They have large eyes and a row of sharp teeth. Sardines are known for their rich, oily flesh, which is high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other essential nutrients
