Which of these foods is most commonly canned in oil, rather than water, juice, or broth?
Answer Sardines
Sardines are a cold water, fatty fish and are canned in oil for a few reasons. It is a means of preservation, as well as a good source of additional calories. Oil also intensifies the flavor of the sardine, which, if you are going to eat a sardine in the first place, is the point, right?
