Wild Cornish Sardines are a South West favourite, known for their rich flavour and delicate texture. Caught off the Cornish coast and landed fresh through Brixham Fish Market, they are prepared to order and delivered in perfect condition, never previously frozen.
Why it’s special: Our sardines are sourced from the clear waters off Cornwall and carefully selected for quality. With approximately 10–15 sardines per kilo, they offer excellent value and versatility, whether cooked whole or prepared to your preference.
Quality & versatility: With their naturally oily flesh and bold flavour, Cornish sardines are rich in omega-3 and perfect for quick, healthy meals. They are ideal for grilling, barbecuing, or baking, where their skin crisps beautifully.
Serving inspiration: Grill whole sardines with olive oil, garlic, and sea salt for a Mediterranean-style supper, or barbecue with lemon and herbs for a simple outdoor feast.

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?
