Believe me these are much more delicious than you might expect. Lots of people turn their nose up at the idea of tinned sardines but they are one of the best sources of good quality protein and essential fatty acids and are quite inexpensive.

These can be eaten as a snack or for breakfast or a light lunch, they are quite filling.
