Good for you
Looking for a quick lunchtime snack that will give you enough energy to get you through the afternoon? A tin of pilchards in tomato sauce is filled with vitamins and minerals that are really good for you. This is what is in a tin: vitamin B12, omega 3, vitamin D, selenium, lycopene, iodine, phosphorus, niacin, biotin, riboflavin(B2) and calcium. You can opt for taking just a tin of pilchards to work (don’t forget the tin opener), or you can use this simple recipe and make fish cakes for you and your family – they’re great eaten warm or cold.

- Using your hands, mix well and then create balls out of the pilchard and potato mix.
