Home-made Sardines

The idea of making Home-made Sardines came from Cik Mat Gebu's house (many thanks for sharing the great idea). Anyway, I have made it according to my own taste and style. The result is impressive as the bones are soften and can be safely eaten just like canned sardines. The taste is better than canned sardines as the fish are fresh, no fishy smell and most of all without added preservatives and you can adjust the recipe to your liking.

Read this article which promotes sardines (including their bones) as healthy diet.
