My second serious attempt at sardines. Enjoyed in the NYTimes Cooking recipe Sardine Toasts with Tomato and Sweet Onion. The recipe was delicious, but given the fishiness that I smelled opening the tin, I think I needed all the other stuff to tone down the sardine flavor. This is not to say that these would not be great for an established sardine lover – but to me, this was not worth the price and not a convincing introduction to sardines. I have enjoyed boquerones and other non-cured white anchovies, as well as smoked sprats. I’ll try the spiced Nuri sardines that everyone loves next.
