If you don't like the heads and so on, sardines ARE available without them...boneless and cleaned.

Sardines have a VERY fishy taste, which is not for everyone...but I did find a way to alleviate the extreme fishiness. Flake the sardines as though you were using them to make a fish salad sandwich, and place them in a bowl.

THEN pour reconstituted lemon juice on them straight from the bottle, to cover, and let that sit for about 15 minutes. Then drain and rinse.

You can make sardine salad by mixing the flaked sardines, (above), with chopped red onion and a little mayonnaise.

ANOTHER thing that kills fishiness, if you don't care for the very fishy taste of sardines, is mustard powder. Add 1/2 tsp mustard powder to 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, and mix well. You can also add 1 tsp of sugar if you like. (Optional). Then add mayonnaise and flaked sardines.

@4meAndyou I just opened the can, they were headless and appear to have been gutted. Just mashed them up with salt pepper garlic and some lemon. I am going to mix them in deviled eggs. Eggs just finished

@WasEP Devilled eggs contain mustard, so that might do the trick!
