Steps to clean sardines
To clean sardines efficiently, you will need the following materials:
1. A chatty little knife
2. Kitchen scissors
3. A cutting board
4. Running water
5. Kitchen paper
First, make sure you have a clean and well-lit workspace. Place the fresh sardines on the table. Sardines have small scales that must be removed. Use the knife to gently scrape off the scales under running water to avoid dirtying your work space.
Using kitchen shears, cut off the head of the sardine just behind the gills. Insert the knife into the opening where the head was and cut along the belly to the tail. Open the belly of the sardine and remove the viscera with your fingers or scissors. Then, rinse the inside of the sardines well under running water.
Drying them carefully with kitchen paper helps to remove excess moisture, which is important if you plan to fry or roast them. If you prefer boneless steaks, you can carefully remove it using a knife.
