Grilled Sardines with Charred Lemon & Chilli
Fresh whole sardines grilled over high heat and finished with charred lemon, chilli, garlic, parsley, and extra virgin olive oil. A bold, Mediterranean-inspired seafood dish perfect for the BBQ.

Ingredients

  • 16 whole sardines
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 medium lemons
  • 2 red chilli
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  • Coarse sea salt

Method

  1. Clean sardines (they can be eaten whole if desired).
  2. Heat BBQ to high. Wood or charcoal gives excellent flavour.
  3. Slice two lemons into 5mm thick slices and cut the third lemon in half.
  4. Char lemon slices and halves on the grill for 2–3 minutes per side.
  5. Grill whole chillies for about 1 minute, turning until blistered.
  6. Finely chop a quarter of the grilled lemon slices and place in a bowl. Chop chillies (remove seeds for less heat) and add with olive oil, parsley, garlic, shallot, and salt. Mix well.
  7. Season sardines with salt, drizzle with olive oil, and grill for about 2 minutes per side, turning once.
  8. Arrange remaining charred lemon slices on a plate, top with sardines.
  9. Spoon over the sauce, squeeze juice from charred lemon halves, and serve.

Frequently asked questions

How is it packed?

All seafood is individually vacuum-packed or sealed, then placed in insulated boxes with gel ice packs to ensure it stays cold and fresh during transit.

Is it frozen?

If the product subtitle includes the word frozen then yes, otherwise all other seafood listings are fresh. All frozen seafood is flash-frozen at peak freshness immediately after processing, locking in flavour, texture, and nutrients.

Can I freeze or refreeze?

Frozen seafood: Once thawed, do not refreeze; keep refrigerated and use within 24hrs.

Fresh seafood: Freeze as soon as possible and within 24 hours of delivery for best quality.

What if I’m not home?

If no one is available at the delivery address, your order will be placed in the location on your delivery notes. We recommend leaving clear instructions for a shady cool spot to avoid spoilt deliveries.

How long will it stay fresh?

Fresh seafood: Consume within 48 hours of delivery for best quality. Fresh Seafood may last up to 5 days from packing.

Frozen seafood: Can be stored at -18°C or below for several months, depending on the product. Check the packaging for specific storage periods.

How do I thaw it?

Frozen seafood: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or in a sealed bag under running cold water. Avoid microwaving or warm water.


Fresh seafood: Ready to use, keep refrigerated until cooking.

How much should I get?

We reccommend:

Fish fillets: ~150–200 g per adult per meal

Tuna steaks: ~180–220 g per adult per meal

Whole fish (e.g., snapper, trevally): ~400–600 g per adult.
