Traditional Cornish Grilled Sardines on Toast

Clean fresh Cornish sardines (pilchards).

Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

Grill under high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until the skin is crisp and charred.

Toast thick slices of sourdough bread and rub with a cut clove of garlic.

Top the toast with the hot sardines.

Squeeze over fresh lemon juice and scatter with chopped parsley.

A simple coastal staple of Cornwall.
