Are you kidding – Canned Sardines?

This recipe uses canned products and that’s not a bad thing in this case.  I enjoyed eating this sardine appetizer from – restaurant “El Cul del Mon”, in Girona, Catalunya, Spain.  Click here to learn more about my experience in this terrific restaurant.

This Spanish tapa is a real time saver and a delicious appetizer and even makes a great light lunch accompanied with some crusty bread.  In Spain they prize their canned seafood and it’s commonly served in restaurants and cafes.  Their seafood in cans is good tasting and of high quality not only of sardines but a long list of other seafoods are packed right off the boat.  Spanish sardines are sustainably harvested, they pack a nutritional punch starting with Omega-3 and followed by a long list of minerals and vitamins. No need to worry about Mercury concentrations in these small and delicious fish.
