Traditional portuguese. This reminds me of simpler times when I was a child spending the holidays having barbecues by the river with my family.

My mother makes something similar to this. I can remember where I saw this recipe, I had it written down from a website. I was going through my cook books recently and found it in one of my cook books.

Nice easy dish to make that I learnt from my mother.

Quick & easy hot appetizer. You need only 3 ingredients, oil sardines and green onions, lemon.

If you only use egg, the panko and the coating don't stick to the fish as well. Plus when you need to make a lot, one egg just isn't enough...But with this recipe, you can use just 1 egg and still make a lot. Plus the panko sticks very easily.Dissolve the flour in water so that it's pretty thick.When mixing with the egg, if you feel that there's not enough, adjust with a little bit more watered down flour.

To those who know how, you may simply say "just butterfly the fish", but I had no idea how to do it myself. Follow this recipe to learn how!Once you get used to dealing with sardines, it's easy. Sardines that have already been butterflied are more expensive. It's a cheap fish, so just practice butterflying them yourself.Make sure you have some ice water ready. Recipe by Osshosan

I usually simmer sardines, but I tried cooking them Italian style!Carefully wash all the bloody parts of the sardines, and pat dry with kitchen paper. This will make them crispy and delicious! For 4 servings. Recipe by Choco meru

I couldn't decide whether to buy pacific saury or dried sardines, but thought that because it's autumn, I should get the pacific saury. But I'd had some recently, so I didn't know what to do. Pacific saury are grilled and flipped using tongs, but once you put them on the grill, it would be difficult to flip them over. I kept changing my mind up until the time I was at the register, and I really didn't want to regret my purchase, so I decided to just go with dried sardines.If you flip the fish too many times when grilling, the skin will break apart, so be careful.

Takes too long to cook but quick to prepare and taste a lot better than canned sardines.
