* Sardine Fishing and Packing are peculiarly French industries, and the importance of the trade is said to ex- 

 ceed that of the Cod Fisheries. More than 4000 boats and a population of nearly 25,000 fishermen find employment 

 in these fisheries during the season, and an amount varying between 12,000,000 and 18,000,000 francs (480,000 to 

 720,000) according to the price and supply, is paid annually to the fishermen for the fresh Sardines. 



For Sardines packed in oil to preserve all their delicacy of flavour and fineness of quality, it is necessary that 

 not more than twenty-four hours should elapse between the landing of the fish and the time the tin of " Sardines in 

 oil " is complete and ready for shipment. Nevertheless, the preparation consists of numerous operations, -which, 

 without a detailed description being given, may be simply named, as follows : 



Counting the Sardines at landing Salting Cutting off the heads A first washing or rinsing Spreading on 

 grills of a peculiar make adapted to the purpose A second rinsing Drying in the sun in fine weather, and in a 

 special apparatus in wet weather Cooking in boiling oil Draining off the cooking-oil Packing in tins Filling the 

 tins with oil Soldering the lids on to the tins Subjecting the tins to ebullition Labelling and finally, Packing 

 the tins into cases. Through these diverse operations, the Sardines have to be manipulated one by one.
