I'm not a huge fan of sardines, but I have to admit that these grilled sardines were pretty good. The marinade really helped to enhance the flavor of the fish.

These grilled sardines were an absolute delight! The fish was cooked perfectly, with a crispy skin and a moist, flaky interior. The lemon and herb marinade added a wonderful flavor that complemented the delicate taste of the sardines.
