Sardines can be grilled, pickled, fried, baked, broiled or smoked. Many cultures coat them in breadcrumbs before cooking or toast breadcrumbs separately for a crunchy topping after cooking.
Because they are oily fish, sour ingredients like lemon, vinegar and dry white wine help balance the flavor. Other complimentary flavors include garlic, fennel, tomatoes, pine nuts, saffron & fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage.
