A long time ago the supermarket used to sell these sardines cheaply and I'd make this recipe. But recently they don't sell them as much so it's been a long time since I've made this.

Don't use herring sardines. They're easier to eat and taste better when covered in lots of sauce.
Since the portions of the sauce ingredients are all the same, you can easily adjust the amount of sauce needed. Recipe by Sanmarukohamu
