Canned or freshly grilled - what’s your pick?

I’ve had freshly grilled sardines twice recently. No fuss, no frills, very fresh and tasty but the bones, the bones - I just couldn’t chew them down like some would :(
So for me - give me canned sardines any day hands down please! Sharing a recent tin I tried from La Quiberonnaise, France. Delicious!

Crispy rice salad with edamame, cucumber and peanut dressing

Tried this for the first time. Was a success! For the peanut dressing: smooth peanut butter, tamari, sesame oil, minced garlic, lemon juice and maple syrup. For the crispy rice: boil some rice and keep aside until cool, then layer in a tray and mix together with tamari and sesame oil. I added gochujang for some kick. Roast in the oven for 30 mins. Then add it to the salad bowl with edamame, cucumber, spring onions, chopped peanuts and coriander leaves. Mix in the peanut dressing.
