Sometimes Simple is Best

Sardines always seem to be my fall back when the fridge is looking a little bare or for that matter, even when it's full. They are a wonderful little snack, and can make for a healthy lunch. Some whole wheat toast, some cucumber slices, sardines, a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of sea salt (Maldon's in my case) - it's all you need.


I found Alshark Moroccan sardines at Kalustyan's market. I am always on the hunt for new canned sardines - I'm always looking for options to knock the Matiz sardines off their top spot of my preferences. The Alshark came pretty close. They are meaty, subtle, slightly briny. The Matiz are still on top though and the search continues.
