About Lata
- Known for
- sardines in olive oil
Lata is a brand of sardines packed in olive oil. Sardines in olive oil are the classic style of tinned fish, cooked in the tin and ready to eat.
Tinned sardines are served at room temperature, often straight from the tin, on buttered toast with lemon and parsley, in a salad of tomatoes and sliced onion, or tossed with pasta and garlic.
Lata questions
Can you eat the bones in canned sardines?
Yes. Unless a tin is labeled boneless, canned sardines come with their bones, and the cooking and sterilizing done during canning softens them, so they are easy to chew and add only a slightly gritty texture. Eat the fish whole, straight from the tin or on bread.
What can you do with the olive oil in a tin of sardines?
Keep it. The oil has sat with the fish and picked up its flavor, so it works as a seasoning on its own. Whisk it with lemon juice for a quick dressing, brush it on bread before toasting, or drizzle a little over boiled potatoes or white beans.
