cooking sardines is trouble. you go kill it..stick to pan an' ting. the only way I see heat on sardines is to heat up coconut oil to smoking, then pour it on the sardines
don't heat up olive oil on a fire. that will kill the oil and turn it into harmful for your belly :

I never see sardines raw and uncooked in a tin.
I know they flash-cook them and seal them up. every time I put them in a hot pan they stick. so to protect against anything in the tin we used to heat up oil and pour it over the sardines to avoid the pan process.
but since I came to Canada that was too much for me. I used to eat with crackers and toast. or make submarines with lettuce and tomatoes on delicious foot long white bread...after making a paste with hot peppers or pepper sauce.
I understand now how you can cook it if you let it simmer under low heat with enuff liquid. but sardines are soft, real soft and does not need heat..cant take too much heat.
anyway the way I absolutely love it is like I have listed
if I remember accurately my mother used to do it like that...but with tomatoes too. she used to cook all of the ingredients down add the sardines to simmer on low heat..or just take the pot off the heat and leave it covered
