Sardines are about 6 inches, depending on females or males. they are great on charcoal, with fat dripping, and a potato and salad!! As good as Salmon, done the same way, or even in a pan at home, no need for grease. of course, sardines inside house create lots of smoke.

they're good in mustard sauce too

There great over saltines or straight from the can, also love there cousin anchovies on pizza.

Quick recipe is to get canned sardines throw them in a salad mix bag and squeeze a lemon then put a salad dressing vinaigrette shake and you have quick meal.

My dad's idea of a treat was canned sea creatures.
