Canned Sardines are a small sealed tin of fish that keeps without spoiling. At 0.3 weight, a can is far lighter than most canned foods, which weigh 0.8. The tin has a ring pull, so it opens by hand.
Once opened, the can becomes Canned Sardines (Open). The fish can be eaten as it is or added to pizzas, stews, stir fries, rice dishes, sandwiches, omelettes and toast. Canned Sardines are a common find on store shelves and in house kitchens.
Eating
The sardines are eaten once the ring pull is opened. The opened can lowers hunger by 14 and holds 150 calories. It carries 14 grams of protein and 11 grams of fat. That is a decent snack for a can so light.
The sardines are good hot, so heating them before eating gives a small mood lift. Canned Tuna (Open) weighs the same 0.3 but lowers hunger by 18 and holds 370 calories. Canned Corned Beef (Open) lowers hunger by 24 but weighs 0.8.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Storage
A sealed can of sardines keeps without spoiling, so it suits a long term food store. Once opened, the fish stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The best plan is to open a can only when it will be eaten or cooked right away.
Locations
Canned Sardines are a common find. The shelves at Gigamart, grocery stores and general stores carry them about a quarter of the time. House kitchens and living rooms hold them fairly often in counters, cupboards and shelves. Survivor caches and survivor crates turn them up regularly. Other grocery containers, hoarder kitchens and survivor safehouses hold them less often, and cafeteria kitchens only rarely.
