Handling and storage
Sardines should be handled with extreme care, their high fat content and fine bone structure make them quite fragile. Fresh sardines should be cleaned and stored on dry kitchen towel, on a rack atop ice, sitting in an air proof container. Frozen sardines should be thawed quickly (at room temperature) and used immediately.
Fresh v Frozen
For the premium experience use fresh, although contemporary processing delivers excellent, consistent quality in frozen product.
