Sardine



“Remember that a very good sardine is always preferable to a not that good lobster.” - Ferran Adrià

I could not agree more. What I particularly like about this piece of advice is that anyone can understand without explanation. That is what I call a good and remarkable advice.

In haute cuisine, quality is usually measured by the freshness of the food and not for its price, just like home cuisine. You realize he chose sardine and lobster for greater understanding. He could instead have picked any other combination but he did not. One can see the contrast between a sardine and lobster, easily. That was the point.

Looking for information about sardine recipes, I found “Espeto de sardinas” means sardines on the spit, are a typical Málaga dish. I’ve never been to Spain so I have never tasted but pictures look delicious. 
 
And now I am hungry.
