These tender sardines are paired with fragrant basil and a bright lift of lemon, all without added oil. The result is a wonderfully light and refreshing tin that lets the quality of the fish shine through, with fresh citrus notes and a delicate herbal finish.
 
Serving Suggestion
Perfect flaked through a green salad with shaved fennel and capers, or served atop warm toast with a squeeze of fresh lemon. They also make an excellent addition to a simple pasta with parsley and garlic.
 
Wine Pairing
A French Muscadet is a natural match, its crisp minerality echoing the citrus notes of the tin. Closer to home, a Clare Valley Riesling offers vibrant acidity and freshness.
