Sardines in sesame oil

Meaty sardines in fragrant sesame oil. Four firm-textured, silver-skinned sardines in a light sesame oil. The oil’s pronounced sesame seed note cuts through the oiliness and punchy flavour of the sardines beautifully.

Serving tip: serve over fluffy white rice with lots of chopped herbs forked through the rice. Garnish with thinly sliced spring onion.

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.
