A sardine is a very small, oily fish. ... Sardines are most often bought canned, lined up in rows in little tins. The word sardine is actually a general term — it refers to a type of fish, most often a small herring, while a slightly larger one is sometimes called a pilchard.

Hope you understand ^_^

Heya,

Sardines are kind of fish. It means fish sealed in a can.

The line is said by Pescud to mock best sellers. He says that while in the best sellers, the hero is portrayed as a warrior who carries a sword and is ready to fight with the worst of enemies, in real life, a normal man is not likely to act that way. 

HOPE IT HELPS:-))
