Critical Success Points

  • Clean the sardines by removing all bones
  • Let the filling rest in the fridge so it firms up

  • Cook the meatballs over low heat without stirring abruptly

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw sardines with gloves or wash hands thoroughly afterward.
  • Ensure the fish is fresh to avoid any risk of food poisoning.
