Battered sardines are a delicious fish dish, characteristic of traditional Italian cuisine. Fresh sardines are floured, dipped in beaten egg, and then coated with breadcrumbs. They are then fried until perfectly golden, becoming crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The flavor of sardines pairs perfectly with lemon juice and olive oil, creating a dish rich in taste that melts in your mouth.
