Sardines in peanut oil

Meaty sardines in a smooth, mellow peanut oil. Four firm-textured, silver-skinned sardines in peanut oil. The oil’s mild, nutty note counterbalances the sardines’ punchiness beautifully.

Serving tip: stir fry bean sprouts, julienned carrots and finely sliced spring onion in the peanut oil. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar. Top with the sardines and garnish with roughly chopped peanuts.

About the cannery: La Quiberonnaise was founded in 1921 by Henriette Jourdan in the fishing port of Quiberon in Brittany. Today the cannery remains a family-run business, helmed by Henriette's grandsons, Thierry and Bernard Jourdan. The cannery is certified as one that practises outstanding craftsmanship and industrial expertise.

About the sardines: The focus of La Quiberonnaise is sardines, which it prepares and cans by hand within 48 hours of the catch. The sardines are carefully selected and canned fresh using traditional techniques. Each tin is vintage-dated and improves with time in the tin.The cannery is committed to seasonal fishing - May to September for sardines - and sourcing its fish as close to the Quiberon coast as possible.
