    Sardine Fish are very common in Kerala and Tamil Nadu in the Coastal Region so a delicious fish fry is always welcome in any sea food lover’s house. As per wiki Sardine Fish is a very good source of vitamin and Minerals. Apart from the cleaning part I like to cook sardines happily. Now let’s get started.

    Any regular oil can be used for cooking, But coconut oil and curry leaves addition give an awesome aroma to the fish.
