Dardanel Sardines with Tomato Sauce - How Many Calories?

Calories and protein in tomato-sauce sardines

Dardanel Sardines with Tomato Sauce provides 225 calories and 21.1 g protein per 100 g, including the sauce. A weighed 50 g amount gives 113 calories and 10.55 g protein. These are not figures for plain or drained sardines.

Dardanel crispy sardines in the 400 g frozen pack contain 45% sardine plus coating; a weighed 150 g provides 378 kcal. When choosing it instead of the tomato-sauce can, use the coated product’s own weight and panel.

How many calories are in a can or one fish?

The source page says 100 g in its title and 105 g in the net-quantity field, so no definite whole-can weight has been assigned here. Check your pack's net weight or weigh the portion you eat with its sauce. Individual fish vary in size; the source does not establish a standard weight for one sardine.

Removing sauce or oil changes both the weight and the mixture you eat. Weighing the drained fish and applying the same panel does not produce an exact drained-food calculation. A separate drained-product panel was not supplied. The explanation of net and drained weights for light tuna shows why those measures differ; its drained weight and nutrient values do not apply to these sauced sardines.

The older 100 g spicy-sardine record is a separate reference. A conflict between the newer 105 g photograph and written ingredients means the brand name or similar numbers cannot establish interchangeable panels.

Using it in pasta or salad

If 100 g with sauce is shared equally between two pasta portions, each receives 113 calories and 10.55 g protein from the sardines. Pasta and other additions are separate. Tomato paste and sunflower oil are already part of the product's recipe; do not count its own sauce again as an extra oil serving.

There are 1.4 g salt per 100 g, equivalent to approximately 560 mg sodium. Half that amount has 0.7 g salt. Consider this existing salt before adding olives, pickles or another salty sauce. The protein contribution is known, but omega-3, calcium and fiber amounts are not declared and have not been borrowed from generic sardine data. To compare a declared omega-3 amount, the lemon-sauce mackerel EPA+DHA section records the manufacturer’s 200 mg per 100 g; that number does not establish an amount for these sardines, whose label leaves it unreported.

After opening

The supplier instructions specify covered storage at 4°C and consumption within two days after opening. If oil is added as described on the label, any added oil later eaten contributes energy beyond the original panel. Follow a shorter limit on your own pack if stated. Fish is an allergen.
