They're great on toast or in a salad.<br />We visited the fishing museum in Vannes (I think) a few years ago and learned all about the canning of sardines then. It was fascinating and a good day out.<br /><br />Cheryl - anchovies are skinny little fish with a very intense, salty flavour. You wouldn't want a pile of them on your toast. Sardines are much bigger and a gentler flavour.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-27394168963309834762011-02-23T10:51:17.138+01:002011-02-23T10:51:17.138+01:00Most of our sardines come in from Canada.
