A Box of Canned Sardines is a small shop box that holds 6 cans of Canned Sardines. It is a light, bulk way to carry and store canned fish that keeps for a long time. The box weighs 1.5, which is less than the 1.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. Boxes of canned sardines are a rare find on store shelves and in survivor caches.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Sardines come in ring pull cans, so the Open Ring-Pull Canned Food recipe opens them by hand. An opened can lowers hunger by 14 and holds 150 calories, with 14 grams of protein and 11 grams of fat.
The fish is good hot, so a warmed can gives a small mood lift. Sardines also work as a cooking ingredient. An opened can adds 14 hunger to a Pizza, a Stew, a Stir Fry or a Rice dish. It adds 7 to a Sandwich, an Omelette or Toast.

Storage
Sealed cans keep without spoiling, so a box of sardines suits a long term food store. Once a can is opened, the sardines stay fresh for 2 days and are fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The cans are best opened one at a time, only when they will be eaten.
Locations
A Box of Canned Sardines is a rare find. General stores and the shelves at Gigamart and grocery stores hold one now and then. Survivor food caches, survivor crates and house kitchens turn one up even less often. Grocery storage rooms and cafeteria kitchens hold one only once in a long while.
