Perfect for the table and for drinks. You can even make juicy toasts outdoors by slicing and arranging the ingredients in various containers. All you'll need to do is toast the bread slices over the fire. Be sure to assess the fish before buying and check the expiration date on the preserves, especially in summer. Serve with herbs and sauce.
