Fisherman's Board - Sardine Bruschetta

If you want a budget-friendly healthy meal that takes just 2 minutes to make - you can't go past my fisherman's board Sardine Bruschetta. Sardines are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory to the body and critical for good health. They are essential fats that must be obtained from our diet. Omega-3s support the body’s health in every way and vital in the fight against diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Omega 3s help to lower cholesterol, reduce high blood pressure, nourish the immune system and reduce symptoms of arthritis and depression.
