Etymology

The term 'sard' originates from the Latin 'sardina', which in turn comes from the Greek 'sardinฤ', a reference to the fish caught near the island of Sardinia. Sardinia's abundant sardines contributed to the name, which has been used in various languages. Over time, the word has come to encompass other small fish of similar characteristics within the family Clupeidae. Sardines have been a vital food source for centuries, playing a significant role in the diets of coastal communities worldwide. They are particularly noted for their high omega-3 fatty acid content and are often served in a variety of culinary forms, including grilled, pickled, or as the key ingredient in Mediterranean dishes.
