Fish Alternatives: Sweeter than sardines, smelts are an ideal alternative here. They're usually smaller, so cook them a little less.

Wine Recommendation: The saltiness of the sardines and the rusticity of this dish are perfect with a very cold bottle of unassuming and refreshing vinho verde from Portugal. Many vinho verdes are nonvintage, but if those available to you are dated, choose as young a bottle as possible.
