Prepared in the traditional Breton style, these sardines are lightly fried before being packed, creating a richer flavour and wonderfully silky texture. Deeply savoury and satisfying, they’re a true classic for lovers of traditional sardines.
 
Serving Suggestion
Serve simply with warm bread, salted butter and pickled onions, or enjoy alongside steamed new potatoes and a green salad.
 
Wine Pairing
A crisp Muscadet provides a classic French pairing, while a Hunter Valley Semillon offers bright citrus notes and a refreshing finish.
