- Use fresh sardines: Fresh sardines have a firmer texture and a more delicate flavor than frozen sardines.
- Clean the sardines properly: Remove the heads, tails, and guts of the sardines. Rinse the sardines thoroughly under cold water.
- Season the sardines simply: Sardines have a delicate flavor, so don't overpower them with too many seasonings. A simple sprinkling of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need.
- Grill the sardines over high heat: This will help to sear the sardines and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
- Serve the sardines immediately: Grilled sardines are best served hot off the grill.
