If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.
Sardines are known for their nutrient density and lower impact on ocean ecosystems, but it can be hard to know exactly how or where they're sourced. At Patagonia Provisions, we design our supply chains to ensure traceability from fishery to packer, choosing well-managed fisheries and responsible harvesting practices.
We share our sourcing practices to help you feel confident about what you're buying and invite continual improvements through open dialogue. To learn more about our approach to seafood, explore our Sardines sourcing and browse articles about nutrition and ocean health.
Types of Patagonia Provisions Sardines
Wild Sardines: Rich in omega-3s, protein and vitamin B-12, our sardines are wild-caught from responsibly managed fisheries, with harvesting methods that minimize bycatch and protect marine ecosystems. Their firm texture and clean flavor make them a versatile pantry staple. We offer options with sauces and seasonings, crafted to complement the fish's natural flavor with simple, organic ingredients.
Sardines can be enjoyed straight from the can with bread or Organic Crackers for a delicious, convenient meal. They're excellent flaked into pasta, tossed with greens or layered onto a simple snack plate with veggies and crackers. Because they're so meaty yet mild, sardines make an easy swap for tuna in sandwiches and salads.
