Whole Wild Atlantic Sardines

There’s something honest and deeply satisfying about preparing and enjoying whole sardines. Ours come entire — head on and ungutted — just as they should. A moment’s simple preparation is all it takes to clean them, a process as grounding as it is rewarding. These wild Cornish sardines are landed in late summer, when the fish are naturally at their peak — plump, flavourful, and rich in essential omega-3 oils.

Expect natural variation in size — with each fish weighing up to around 100g — and a stunning silver-blue skin that crisps beautifully on the grill or under the oven’s heat. The flavour is bold yet clean, with a satisfying, meaty texture that stands up well to herbs, citrus, or gentle stuffing.

For a simple but impressive dish, we recommend filling your sardines with baby spinach, lemon zest, and a pinch of sea salt before grilling — no fuss, just real food at its best.

Sourced from sustainable Cornish fisheries using responsible methods, these sardines reflect our commitment to quality, provenance, and traditional preparation. Best enjoyed with your hands, a crust of good bread, and a glass of something crisp and cold.
