Sardines are highly nutritious – rich in omega 3 fatty acids and a good source of vitamin D, calcium, B12 and protein. I love fresh sardines and buy them whenever I spot them at Spanner Crab Noosa. They are delicious simply pan fried or grilled. I have also used them to make fermented fish and in pate. But for today I will leave with you this recipe.
