Marinated Sardines image

The basic recipe came from Antonio Carlucci's book "Southern Italian Cooking" but I've amended it a bit, mainly by adding chilli. Makes a good first course, serve with a little pile of rocket on the side and some bread. Can also be made with garfish or other small, flavoursome fish.
