Where to find Sardines
Sardines thrive in the nutrient-rich waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Caught in large schools, these small, oily fish are a staple for seafood lovers. Through our sardines wholesale services, we source top-quality sardines to provide fresh and frozen options for your kitchen.
What Do Sardines Taste Like?
Sardines have a bold, rich, and slightly briny flavour, often described as the perfect balance between mackerel and anchovies. Their tender, oily flesh oozes umami, making them an excellent ingredient for flavourful dishes.

How to Prepare Sardines
Preparing sardines is straightforward. Start by rinsing them under cold water. If whole, remove the scales using a knife, then cut off the head and tail if desired. Open the belly to clean out the insides and gently pull out the backbone for fillets. If using fresh sardines, marinate them with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs to enhance their flavour. For frozen sardines, thaw in the fridge overnight before preparing.
How to Cook Sardines
Sardines can be cooked in various ways to suit your dish. Grill them whole with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt for a smoky, charred flavour. For frying, coat them lightly in seasoned flour and cook in hot oil until golden and crispy. Sardines are also excellent for baking; layer them in a dish with tomatoes, garlic, and herbs for a hearty Mediterranean meal. With their rich flavour and tender texture, sardines are versatile and easy to incorporate into any cuisine.
