About Sardines in Pickle sauce:
The history of sardines in Spain dates back to ancient times when the Phoenicians and Greeks established trading colonies along the Spanish coast. These early civilizations recognized the abundance of sardines in the waters around Spain and began to fish and preserve them. Over time, the Spanish developed various techniques for preserving sardines, including smoking, salting, and canning. These preserved sardines became a staple food in Spain and were exported throughout Europe and beyond. Sardines in pickle sauce, or sardinas en escabeche, is a popular way to prepare sardines in Spain. The dish typically involves frying fresh sardines and then marinating them in a mixture of vinegar, water, garlic, bay leaf, and other seasonings.
