Simplest of Sardines

Sparklingly fresh fish? It would be a shame to do anything but cook simply, and revel in the sea-salty freshness.

A pound of sprats

After the joy of cooking succulent fresh sardines for the first time last week, I could only fall. Utterly and foolishly seduced by the wink of a near-wriggling-fresh silvery sprat on the fishmonger’s slab. Oh lordy. I restrained myself and “only” bought a pound of the tiny darlings. Foolish when I’m cooking for myself alone?
