Cooking instructions
Chargrill
HOW TO: Fish cooked over a fire is delicious, though it’s really important to get the optimum cooking temperature by allowing the grill bars to become hot, then waiting for the flames to die right down again.
Rub a whole fish with oil, make a few slashes into the flesh, then sprinkle lightly with fresh breadcrumbs (this will prevent sticking and leave you with some nice crispy bits).
As a guide, a 450g whole fish which serves one person, will take about 7-8 minutes to cook on each side (don’t turn the fish until this time). You will see the skin slowly crisping and charring – if it happens too quickly your fire is too hot). A 1 – 1.2kg fish cooked in the same way will take 12-15 minutes a side.
For fillets, rub the fish with olive oil, sprinkle lightly with breadcrumbs, and cook, skin side down, until you see the skin crisp and fish cooking as you see the heat rising through it. Flip the fillet over for the last 2 minutes of cooking time and serve.
Grill
HOW TO: Using your grill is an easy and healthy way to cook either thinner fillets or portions like hake and sea bass at home.
Preheat your grill, rub your fish with a little olive oil and salt and put skin side up on a piece of parchment paper (this is to prevent fish from sticking) onto a grill pan.
Place it under the grill on the top shelf, about 10 to 15cm away from the heat. As a guide a fillet portion will need 8-10 minutes, a flatfish for 10-12 minutes. You don’t need to turn flat fish as the heat of the grill will cook it through.

About Butterflied Sardines - Frozen
Our frozen Sardines are gutted and butterflied so the fish is ready to cook on the grill. Each pack contains 4-8 butterflied Sardines.
All the fish in our frozen section was caught at its best and flash frozen at the quayside. When it arrives at your home you can put it in the freezer to enjoy another day (even if partly defrosted) or put in your fridge and enjoy it within the next 2-3 days as you would with our fresh fish.
