Fresh sardines are one of the easiest ways to bring bold Mediterranean flavour into your kitchen.
Sourced from Port Lincoln in South Australia, these fresh sardine fillets are butterflied, deboned and ready to cook—so all the preparation has already been done for you.
Why Try Fresh Sardines?
Unlike canned sardines, fresh sardine fillets have a delicate texture with a rich, savoury flavour.
They cook incredibly quickly and work especially well with punchy ingredients such as lemon, garlic, parsley, chilli, capers and extra virgin olive oil.
Australian sardines are naturally strong-flavoured fish and are particularly well suited to grilling and other high-heat cooking methods.
Ready in Minutes
Because the fillets are already butterflied and deboned, they are ideal for fast weeknight meals.
Try them:
Pan-fried until golden and crisp
Grilled with lemon and herbs
Coated in seasoned breadcrumbs
Added to pasta with garlic, chilli and capers
Served on toasted sourdough with tomato and olive oil
Barbecued and finished with a fresh herb dressing
For a simple meal, lightly season the fillets, dust them in flour and cook in a hot pan with olive oil for around one to two minutes on each side.
Finish with lemon juice and serve immediately.
Small Fish, Plenty of Goodness
Sardines are oily fish and are naturally associated with omega-3 fatty acids, along with protein and a range of important nutrients.
They are a great option for anyone looking to include more seafood in their weekly meals without complicated preparation.

Each order contains:
1 × 500g pack of fresh, butterflied Port Lincoln sardine fillets
The bones have been removed and the fillets arrive ready for you to season and cook.
Fresh, flavourful and fast to prepare—these sardine fillets are proof that simple seafood can make an impressive meal.
