Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?
I love all those brightly coloured tins and bottles of fish you see in Waitrose
I have long since been " hooked" get it!? on anchovies and pilchards, but since JLP tarted up their fish section I have been worki9ng my way through the range.
T^oday I chose PARMENTIER sardines.
For once I followed suggestions in a book by Hugh Fearnley Whettinstee.
Delicious!
Take it away Hugh

One of my favourite ways to eat tinned sardines is to "bloody mary" them – that is, crushing them up with a dash of tomato ketchup, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauces, lemon juice and, if it's past midday, even a splash of vodka. Spread on hot brown toast, this is a great way to put a spring in your step. Pizza is another superb canned-fish vehicle: anchovies are traditional, of course, but any canned fish can work wonders. Just top a thin disc of dough with a layer of sweated onions (tomato not necessary), crumble or chop your fish into chunks and scatter over, add a few dollops of creme fraiche, some salt, pepper and olive oil, and whack into a ferociously hot oven for a few minutes: divine. Even easier is mashing up sardines or mackerel with lemon juice and olive oil or sour cream to form a delicious, coarse sauce that works a treat folded into hot pasta, or even a warm potato salad.
