Fresh butterflied sardine fillets in an incredibly light and crisp batter fried until golden, served in a soft, warm corn tortilla with spicy avocado chutney, zingy mango salsa, and garlicky mayo. All these flavours and textures worked so beautifully together… the saltiness of the sardines, the sweetness of the mango, the smooth chilli heat from the avocado chutney, and the creaminess of the garlic mayo… every mouthful was just perfect.
Sardines are quite a ‘fishy fish (my kids would say) but when lightly fried like this to give such a gorgeous crisp bite then served with the different toppings, they were so scrummy even the kids relished them. If you can’t get a hold of sardines or prefer to have a white fish, then strips of any white firm fish fillet would work fine too.
