For all the sardine lovers out there, I don’t need to say much, a good sard on toast with the right accompaniments is pretty darn rad, but for those of you that are somewhat terrified by fish on toast, I encourage you to keep an open mind. Aside from the numerous health benefits of eating sardines, the flavours are great. Eat your sardines on toast in the sun, close your eyes, and you’ll feel like you're sitting in the Mediterranean somewhere, and who doesn’t want that?
A note on toast - Take care not to toast the heck out of your sourdough, you don’t want to shred your gums while you eat. A medium toasting is great.
Buone sarde!
