Are These Jack’s Sprats?

Can-Do Attitude In Latvia

A giant monument to canned fish has been opened in Liepaja, Latvia, to celebrate its status as the world's largest sprats producer. The sculpture shows a huge silver-coloured can with the message: "Sprats. Made in 1892 - Expiry date unlimited." Organisers wanted to trump the world's first monument to sprats, in Russia.
