What do you do with them? I’ve never made or had anything with sardines in my life.

Gently mash them up with some of the olive oil that’s in the tin (usually not all of it, or you’ll mostly be eating olive oil). Use that as a spread on bread, toast, or crackers, or mix with something that doesn’t have a lot of flavor on its own, like farro or another mild grain.

I usually eat them with cheese and homemade bread. Sometimes I'll add a caprese salad on the side, and that's dinner.

Another fantastic recipe is pasta con le sarde. It's a classic Sicilian pasta with sardines, fennel, saffron and nuts.

My Favourite recipe - sardines on toast

- red onions sliced and cooked in brown sugar and vinegar (quick pickle), cook until the onion is cooked down.

- Toast up a piece of sourdough

- Spread with mustard

- Add slices of tomato, sardines and red onion pickles on top, add some parsley or basil if you like.

You can also had some capers if you're so inclined.

or drizzle some lemon juice and/or olive oil on top

I usually just eat them straight on a cracker or toast, maybe with some mustard or mayo or some other nice spread
