Did you know that sardines provide more calcium and phosphorus than milk, more protein than steak, more potassium than bananas, and more iron than cooked spinach. Sardines are good for cardiovascular health, memory, joints, skin and energy level. They are also one of the safest fish to eat. 

Portuguese Sardine Recipe:

Rinse the sardines and remove the scales, then sprinkle liberally with the sea salt and leave for at least 1 hour.

Preheat your grill, broiler or barbecue so that it's very hot.

Rinse the sardines under some water and then dry them with paper towels.

Brush the sardines with a little olive oil and then grill for several minutes each side until they are cooked.

Serve immediately with a dash of olive oil drizzled over the tops, and sea salt sprinkled over them.
