Sardines are small fish and many. When I get somewhere at sea the first food I order in a restaurant is fried sardines. That's where you find fresh sardines. These are the tastiest. At home, I can only have frozen sardines.

I found sardines from Adriatica. Good and beautiful. Frozen, of course. They need to be cleaned, not necessarily beheaded, but that's the way I like them. This is quite a hard operation and must be done quickly so that the fish doesn't thaw too much.

Once the job is done, we need to prepare them for frying.

An easy job, you just need flour to sift over the fish. Then it needs to be mixed so that each fish is covered with a thin layer of flour.

The sardines thus "dressed" will be fried in a pan with oil. The fish fry very quickly.

Sardines are ready to be eaten. A little salt and a little lemon juice. Very tasty! Not as tasty as those prepared at the seaside. I am very happy with what I have. They still bring me the taste, smell, and memory of the sea!

I don't know if anyone else has posted a recipe or way to cook in Liketu. So I don't know if I'll be the first to do this.
This week's theme in the Deranged Photography Contest is Black and White photography.

Black and white photography is all about telling a story.

That's what @derangedvisions says, and I'm very happy with it. Because I like to tell stories, even when I have to put up a few photos. I like those photos to have a connection, to be part of the story...

I don't just like photography. I also like to cook. I also like fish. I thought I'd combine these three pleasures in this black and white photo contest!

I took my first photographs in the 1970s. With a simple, cheap camera and rudimentary tools. I hope young people, born in the new millennium, imagine that taking a photograph now is nothing like the way it was done 50 years ago. Fifty years ago you had to put film in your camera before you could take a picture. After that you had to have a magnifying camera, photographic paper, some developing substances and a small laboratory in which to work in the dark or under a red light. Assuming that you knew how to use all these devices and substances, you would end up with some photographs. In black and white!

I remember with nostalgia those distant years and the great joy when I managed to take a good picture. Of course, I was an amateur and remained an amateur. Out of too much laziness and too little ability to understand.
