Sardines are small oily fish with soft, rich flesh and a bold flavour that keeps its footing next to smoke and high heat. Their natural oil lets them grill and barbecue without drying, and very fresh sardines taste clean and almost sweet.
At the Barnes counter we prepare them whole, cleaned and scaled for the grill, headed, or butterflied into fillets by hand for the pan.
Grill or barbecue whole fish over high heat for two to three minutes a side until the skin blisters, or pan-fry butterflied fillets skin-side first for a minute or two. Lemon, chilli and garlic suit them, or just bread and olive oil.
