Hola! My name is Javier De La Hormaza, a Basque born, adopted Yorkshire man, trained chef but lifetime cook, lover of food without gels or froths, hospitality professional turned food importer. Hope you enjoy my blog!
I love barbecued sardines, they are one my best childhood memories, sat eating them with my Dad in a restaurant called Hogar del Pescador (Fisherman’s Home) in Santurce’s port. Santurce is the capital of cooking fish on charcoal. It is there where you can taste rich and perfectly charred sardines with buckets of young fizzy txakoli. There is even a popular song about Santurce’s sardines known in the whole of Spain. So yes, Basque food even has hit record songs. The best part of eating sardines is to do it with your fingers and laying the sardines on some bread to soak the oils before you eat everything.
