Today I had one of my favorite foods, grilled sardines with potatoes, grilled peppers and corn bread, the only thing that was missing here was tomato. We all love sardines, it is an excellent fish. Do you like sardines? How do you usually eat it? Picture of my dinner.

I've never seen sardines in anything other than the small can of them on the shelf. That's how I've always eaten them. Your dinner looks good.

@nela13 Sounds very interesting. I used to eat sardines but have not eaten them in a long time. I use to eat them just out of the can and put in something but never grilled them.

You have given me a great idea for dinners. Years ago myself and my little son then used to have sardines with white rice a lot for dinner. I am going to buy some now thanks. It is a very cheap meal here.
