Once my worst nightmare due to their tiny bones, Sardines are now fast becoming my favourite fish.
We never really did fish when I was a kid, unless it was bettered and fried and wrapped in newspaper, and it’s only in the last few years that I’ve eaten anything other than salmon.
In fact I know a few people who say they love fish, when really they just eat salmon.I guess it’s the easy, familiar choice – and usually comes in pieces rather than a whole fish, head and all.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE salmon, but I’ve now realized there are so many other amazing fish out there.
This is a photo of some sardines I just grilled for lunch today. Totally delicious and super healthy, just busting with omega 3.
And the smell when they are cooking is divine! They have such an intense flavour, but it’s not what I would call ‘fishy’, I’d say it’s more meaty. For their flavour I’d say sardines are the crispy bacon of the fish world!
Not sure what to do with them? When I get the technique better myself I’ll do a video. In the meantime….
