Grilled Portuguese Sardines


Sardines: The hot dogs of the ocean. Thanks ocean.

Sardines, what could be simpler and more delicious?  Salt them with a coarse salt (6 to a small handful).  Let them sit for to cure for a few hours, shake off some of the salt and grill them over a bbq.  Easy, right?  Don't put olive on them when they're over the coals, not unless you like the taste of burnt oil.  When they're well crisped over the coals, toss the olive oil on them, squeeze some lemon over them.  Coarse sea salt.  I love it.   Infinitely better than Portuguese Chicken.  Being from the coast?  Lord, it's the life.  Just brilliant, simple food.
