Holy crap, this is delicious. Make sure you get really good sardines - I bought a can of Wild Planet sardines in olive oil and lemon, and it was just incredible. I halved the recipe to make two servings for me and my sardine-skeptical fiance (who made his own lunch just in case, and even though he loved it I ended up hogging both pieces. Next time I'll make more so I don't have to be so greedy. :

This recipe is really scrumptious. I decided to tweak the recipe a tad. My take on this recipe is to use 1 tin of sardines in olive oil, add 6 fillets of anchovies, lemon zest, parsley, grated garlic, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of truffle salt. Then, I mixed that all up and put it on top of a demi baguette with mashed avocado and fresh baby arugala. This was so good! It is so healthy and it will be a go to lunch for me from now on!

This was so delicious! Unfortunately it's sitting in my stomach like a lump. I'm also worried about possible fish breath. And to top it all off, I believe it's causing a bit of indigestion. Still was delicious and I'm looking forward to the next time I make this! It's important to use high quality ingredients since there are so few ingredients. I did it the lazy way, just toasted the bread and topped it with mashed avocado. I also smushed the sardines so that it spreads evenly and mixed it with red wine vinegar since I did not have any sherry vinegar. I agree with the reviewer who called this an adult tuna sandwich.

For those of you who "hate fish flavor," first of all, don't try this recipe and second of all, don't leave a bad review because you don't like fish or sardines. It's like leaving a bad review on a caramelized onion recipe even though you hate onions. It's not the recipe, it's because you don't like onions.

I have made this twice now -- the first time it was 4 stars, the 2nd time 5 stars plus with a minor change and addition. I found sardines that were packed in extra virgin olive oil and lemons, so I used that oil for the dressing which had great flavor. I fileted the sardines because I personally am not a fan of "crunchy bones" in fish but have found that sardines with bones have much more flavor than skinless and boneless ones. The last thing I did was to add some Mirin to the marinade. These changes took a really, really good recipe over the top to a great one.

I have 4 boys who LOVE sardines and never thought I'd find new ways to serve them other then from tin-to-plate, and they ate a triple recipe serving of these today! Thanks for taking a panty staple and again upgrading it!

The whole time I was eating, I kept thinking "wow, wow, wow, wow!" Absolutely amazing. The avocado complements the sardines so perfectly. I didn't even have the bread - not permitted on my low-carb diet, but I honestly cannot imagine it tasting any better. Thank you, thank you!

This was very good! The marinating really does take away the fishy tast. 5 stars!

so lite yet filling really worth the effort very important use a harder bread such as sourdough or cibbatta otherwise the natural juices may make it soggy too quick

Pleasantly surprised like many of the other reviews. I too didn't think I would like sardines at all. My dad, who doesn't really like seafood in general, even ate it and was surprised at how good they turned out. I was also surprised how filling it was....I thought it would be more of a snack, but it can definitely work as a full meal. Look forward to making it for health conscious husband.
