Easy Fish Recipe: Fried Sardines
If you have any questions about this recipe, just leave them on the YouTube video and I'll get back with you ASAP!
Fishermen often ask me for an easy fish recipe. It doesn't take me long to respond: Are you brave enough to try fried sardines? Then I watch for the shock on their faces, followed by words that come out of their mouths, "bait fish?" Yes, bait fish. And here's the deal, they're tasty especially with a little salt, lemon and a cold beer.
Billions of people all over the world love this easy fish recipe. Fried sardines are not only super tasty but they also provide countless nutrients that our bodies need. They're packed with proteins, collagen, vitamins, like omega 3s and 6s, plus minerals, like calcium and magnesium. It's like taking a fistful of vitamin supplements all at one time.
If you bring home fresh sardines after a day of fishing, gut and gill them right away. You can freeze them or place them in paper towels in the refrigerator for a couple of days before you cook them. Gutting and gilling them right way prevents any bacterial growth, especially in their gut cavity, that can lead to food poisoning.

Cold beer
3-5 tablespoons of grape seed oil (frying oil)

Making The Easy Fish Recipe
1. Place the oil into a frying pan or cast iron skillet over a medium low heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
2. While the oil is heating up, place the flour into a bag and add a healthy pinch of salt and black pepper. Now add the sardines and start shaking for 5-10 seconds.
3. Fry up 10-12 sardines at a time, turning them as soon as they turn golden brown. Remove and add to a platter that is lined with a paper towel. Add a pinch of salt and then squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the sardines. Serve with a couple of additional lemon wedges and a cold beer. Enjoy!!
