Sardines are a tiny fish with edible bones and skin. The bones are rich in calcium, the skin in collagen. Look for whole wild sardines, including skin and bones, that are packed in water with no added salt.
I first tried eating sardines whole but found I preferred them mashed with mayonnaise and served as a salad.
