Canapés with Sprats
Description
Suitable for both holidays and everyday meals. Such a simple sprat canapé recipe, I think, deserves a worthy place in your collection of good appetizers for the festive table. I want to say that I spent so much time in the description on “wiping” the fish free of oil because it is very important. You will not get truly appetizing-looking canapés if the sprats are too greasy—they will keep sliding off the carrot “cushion,” and the canapés will gradually turn into mush. And who needs that? So I’d better explain how to make sprat canapés the right way. Serve the appetizer at the table.

Step 3
3. Open the canned fish. I recommend draining the fish through a colander in advance so the oil can drip off. Alternatively, pat each piece of fish with a paper towel to remove excess fat, and only then place on the canapés. Garnish with herbs and serve!
