Not only that, but it's probably wrong. Sardines and herring are related species, assuming that I can trust wikipedia. And pickled herring does come from fish which are larger than sardines.
Perhaps the thing I learned is that you can't trust the fact-checking at NPR.
According to both the articles on sardines and herrings, herrings are sometimes labeled as "sardines" when sold. Sounds like that could be the source of the error.
