As sardinhas só são boas no mês de Junho/Julho quando estão bem gordinhas.

Eu nao sabia disso. Obrigado.

Yep, the misses popped into Sainsburys and bought 4, just as a tester.

She is a bit funny with fish, so far she only likes Salmon and Sea Bass. She couldn't even bring herself to try the sardines because of the smell. I had a couple, just plain and thought the taste was lovely. Will definitely be looking up a few recipes in the future.

I'm the same. Hast to be very fresh & as a rule I only have it by the coast but now I'm across the border into Dorset may be having a bit more

[woohoo]

Neat. You had that tonight?

In my own case, I tend to avoid supermarket fish. They sell it as fresh but it's all been frozen and I often find it too dry. Flavour can be tainted too. Often the same thing with the fishmonger on your local market.

I always order mine from the local pub who get a daily delivery from Lyme Regis & all the boats down there are day boats so you always know it's never been frozen.

I'm not sure I have many options in Manchester for fresh fish?? I get our meat from a great butcher in Flixton, makes all the difference.

I may give that a go - Fish Friday at Waitrose.

Have to say I was surprised at the lovely taste of the sardines. The misses didnt like the smell and the flies flocked to it but as a taster, just sardines on their own, lovely.

Sim. Gosto de sardinhas

Pesto stuffed mackerel.

Get the person on the Waitrose fish counter to head & gut the fish.
Make the pesto (I use home grown basil, rocket and garlic with some roasted pine nuts, olive oil and salt) and leave it in the fridge for a few hours.
Make 3 scores down either side of the fish, put pesto into the scores and put some into the cavity.
Wrap in foil, or cook it on a hot plate. 4 minutes one side, 3 the other.

Not only is it quick, easy and tasty, the fish is sustainable, British, and very good for you.

Blimey that's expensive! I only get 5 BBQs max out of a 10KG bag. The fuel is more expensive than the meat!

I agree but the food tastes better! I've ordered another bag but yep something cheaper would be better.

I think I'm going to finish early and have a BBQ.

Ok so have the sardines, chicken, corn on the cob and German beer. All sorted.

The old man will do it for you for a small fee.

'Bone' (Urban Dictionary: bone) Sardines he must have a smaller pecker than AssSnob no wonder you stray.

Boning raw sardines sounds like hard work. I've always done them cleaned but with the bone still in.

Got some from Waitrose, right or wrongly I cleaned and boned them before putting them on the fire.
