This is a nice variation to how I typically prepare sardines. For those interested, my version includes combining chopped red onion, chopped egg, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to chopped sardines (chunky or pâté like. By chopping the sardines it takes away any "visual" distractions or hesitations. And, like others mentioned, this recipe is great on toast or saltine crackers. Very healthy, very tasty. Thanks, Alton!

This would be a great brunch recipe. It is easy and quick to fix, and is very tasty.

OK, so like many others I was inspired to try these supposedly more palatable sardines. I was surprised to find that the brisling were not salty and were not very fishy. Don't get me wrong, they were a little fishy...but they're fish...So I was cool with that.
Used lemon juice instead of lemon zest...I never have lemons to make zest. Well anyway, made the whole recipe. Everything was going great. Took a few bites, liked the first piece, and finished it. Took a look at the second piece, few bites in....I had to call it quits. My issue with the dish is a visual thing, nothing wrong in terms of taste.
In the future, I will probably make this with leftover salmon, or perhaps tuna/albacore from a can...But I just can't do the sardines.

I was inspired to make this after dining at Craft where they have something similar that was really outstanding, but there they use anchovies instead of sardines. They also add hard boiled eggs. So I have made this twice, sticking with the sardines but adding sliced hard boiled eggs to the top, which is nice and makes it a little more of a meal. The first time I made this, I felt like there was something missing...I wanted more tartness. The second time I drizzled a little extra sherry vinegar on top and voila! I really enjoyed the extra zing! I'll definitely keep making this. It goes in the rotation as it is easy, yummy, and a nice change from the norm. It only gets four stars because it just isn't quite as good as the similar dish at Craft (I know, I'm tough.

I had never tried sardines *ahem* BRISTLING before, always afraid of them for the common reasons. Your recipe made me want to try them. I went to the store, got a tin of sardines, got an avocado, and came home ready to try this wonderful sounding recipe.

I made two slices of toast and spread the toppings on and ate the first one. Unfortunately I couldn't bring myself to eat the second one. I just couldn't enjoy the sardines. This solidifies sardines in my very short list of foods I just don't enjoy (liver is at the top.

That said, I don't want to discourage anyone else from trying this recipe, even if you haven't tried sardines before! Perhaps you will like them! If you DO like sardines you will surely like this recipe, because other than the strong fish flavor I would have enjoyed this. Always be willing to try something new!

If you enjoy eating you will enjoy this. After a few false starts (the type of Sardines do make a BIG difference I got to sample Brislings. Simply put, this recipe was a wonderful surprise. Verdict: Deeelicious!

I have loosely followed this diet...err, not-diet (Bolthouse Farm's Berry Smootie is much easier for me to come by- basically high protein with low fat (or at least healthy fats, tons of veggies, low starches and NO SUGAR. I also walk several times a week. I have been doing this since January and have lost 30lbs. An hour ago I tried to brave the Bristlings for the first time- and I am NOT a fish person- but all is well. I love the recipe. I also like that these are low sodium (well, my brand is, anyway, and this is very heart healthy. I knew how to eat before watching the show- we all know how we are supposed to eat. I had tried everything to get myself in the mindset that eating healthier and staying conscientious about my choices are not restrictive behaviors but I couldn't quite motivate myself. Using a network of friends has never helped, it is a very private choice for me, so the convinience of being motivated in my home by a figment of light while watching a show about cooking never occured to me to be such a perfect choice. Thanks Alton for making this show! I don't know what it was, but everything just tended to "click."
