Product Description

Rich, oily and with a bold, distinctive flavour, fresh sardines are one of the great pleasures of summer cooking. At their best grilled over an open flame or on the barbecue, where the heat crisps the skin and the natural oils do the rest.

Each 1kg pack contains approximately 12 to 16 fish, though the number will vary with the size of the catch on the day. Choose your preparation above. Cook whole for the most flavourful result, or opt for gutted or head-removed and gutted for a cleaner, more straightforward eating experience. Either way, they cook in minutes and need very little alongside them. A little olive oil, sea salt and a squeeze of lemon is often all that is needed. The bold flavour suits sharp, acidic accompaniments and holds up well to strong herbs and spices.

Our sardines are sourced through Brixham Fish Market, landed fresh from the South West coast. Prepared to order by our fishmongers, with nothing sitting in stock, and sent out fresh on your chosen delivery day. Always fresh and never previously frozen, so you can freeze them at home if needed.

Try them in our BBQ Sardines with Lime and Fennel.

First class, very fresh and the whole family loved them. We usually buy pilchards whole and unprepared, but this time we ordered them headless and cleaned (which felt like I was being lazy tbh) but will definitely go for some more this way again. Surprisingly the smoked mackerel pate was actually amazing, I would never have thought I would like it but was great.10 out of 10.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do your Fresh Wild Sardines come from?

Our Fresh Wild Sardines are typically Cornish sardines, caught off the coasts of Devon and Cornwall. They are landed locally and sourced through Brixham Fish Market, allowing us to select the freshest fish available.

What is the best way to cook Fresh Wild Sardines?

Fresh Wild Sardines are excellent when grilled, barbecued or pan fried. Their rich flavour works beautifully with simple ingredients such as olive oil, garlic, lemon and fresh herbs.

Do Fresh Wild Sardines need to be cleaned before cooking?

Fresh sardines can be cooked whole, but some people prefer them gutted or trimmed before cooking.

Do Fresh Wild Sardines contain bones?

Yes. Fresh Wild Sardines naturally contain fine bones. These bones soften during cooking and are commonly eaten as part of the fish, especially when grilled or barbecued.
