They ran out at the grocery store for a long time. When they finally got more in, I cleaned them out (to the tune of a dozen). But now I’ve eaten all those and the grocery store still doesn’t have any more. I bought an 18 pack of the ones I like on Amazon, but now a couple of days after I made the purchase, they’re saying they’re delayed and they can’t even give me an estimated delivery date.
Doing some research, I found that apparently warming oceans are reducing sardine yields causing a shortage.
I eat sardines practically daily… when I can get them.
I might have to switch to the ones packed in water rather than the ones packed in olive oil.
I’d just order a different type from Amazon and let the orders run in parallel. If you get more than you immediately need, they keep pretty much forever, and if you eat them daily, shouldn’t take that long to get through an extra 18 cans or so.
