I remember from visiting Monterey, the photos of the sardine canneries there showed sardines that are really big compared to the usual tinned ones. Is this the fish you want? No, I haven't seen them in a seafood market here.

Ditto. They taste wonderful in Spain. But I think it's just like a lot of things on the menu over there. "Sardine" in American English might not be equivalent to the translation into English of the Spanish meaning of the word "sardine."
The pig knuckles? Grossed me out, but they actually are pretty good if you close your eyes.
