Fresh Whole Sardines

Small, silver and rich in oil, these little fish are at their best within a day or two of landing. They arrive whole with bright eyes and skin that still carries its metallic sheen.

Soft bones and a high oil content make them forgiving over coals and deeply savoury in a hot pan. Because they are small they cook in minutes and ask for little more than salt, oil and heat.
