    "What exactly is 'spanish' about this??? " 1. Sardines can come from Spain. 2. Same thing for all the other ingredients. 3. Some Spanish people eat this dish sometimes. 4. And if you look at the photo, you'll clearly see nothing that makes you think this might be a non-Spanish dish, i.e. no bottles of French wine, German newspapers or chopsticks. By process of elimination, this is most definitely a Spanish dish.

    This recipe is very Spanish and very delicious. Just think Sardinia is not that far from Spain, hence the name. By the way, fresh sardines are even more popular on the Coasta del Sol but canned fish of high quality is served at many tapas bars in Spain. Sardines are also very low in mercury because of their size and life span. Good hi quality protein with all the right fats.

    This is a very tasty dish, I think I would add some finely chopped cherry tomatoes for their lycopene to make it even more healthy.

    On Gran Canaria there are two towns, Sardina del Norte and Sardina del Sud. I lived on the island for 16 months and have eaten a dish like this in both of these places. (Also when I lived in Sesimbra in Portugal). There is not any Appellation Controlée on this dish.

    @peteryyz I really appreciate your positive feedback, thank you! Do you ever get the impression that some folks on this board take things a tad too seriously?

    Sardines is healthy blue fish, not like somes swordfish or tuna, are big fish with high % of mercury...The south of spain in the "Chiringuitos" (restaurants in the beach) we just cook grilled with coarse salt, is delicius.
