Some grilled sardines while they cook.
A classic preparation for sardines (or sarde). In this case it is not exactly a grill but a ciappa (as a stone, made of slate, used for cooking is called in my area).
Cleaned of the innards beforehand and arranged on the ciappa with a little coarse salt and that's it.
Sardines are small pelagic fish that belong to the Clupeidae family. They are highly prized not only for their flavor, but also for their nutritional benefits. Here are some interesting facts about sardines.
Sardines are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins D and B12, calcium, selenium, and phosphorus. These nutrients are essential for heart, bone, and immune system health.
Sardines are considered a sustainable choice over other fish because they reproduce rapidly and are abundant in nature.
Sardines can be prepared in many different ways. They are delicious grilled, marinated, canned with olive oil, or added to salads and pastas.
The name “sardine” comes from the island of Sardinia, where they were once abundant. They have been an important food source for many coastal cultures throughout the centuries.

The sardine is often associated with the anchovy both as a lifestyle and as a way of consuming it and, sometimes, confused with it by the inexperienced consumer. In reality, the two species of clupeiforms belong to different families and have a completely different appearance. The sardine has a tapered body but is taller and more compressed laterally than the anchovy and on its belly it has a row of rigid and pointed scales (scutellum) which, however, do not form a true keel, as occurs in the sprat.
