Fresh Sardine Big (السردين الكبير) 1kg is the larger sardine choice for crispy frying, whole grilling and rich fish curry, giving you more substantial bites than small sardines. Fresh Fish Dubai hand picks sardines with bright eyes, firm flesh and a clean marine smell, then keeps them continuously refrigerated at 0 to 4°C. The 1kg product is available according to current stock in whole and cleaned preparation options, with cleaning and cutting completed to order rather than supplied pre cooked or pre packed. Your sardines are packed for chilled transport and delivered across Dubai, including Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Business Bay and Al Barsha, with delivery from 60 to 90 minutes in those areas. Fresh Fish Dubai has served customers since 2020 and accepts orders 24/7 through the online shop, phone or WhatsApp. Check the current Fresh Sardine Big (السردين الكبير) 1kg price before ordering, then cook it soon after delivery for the best firm flesh and naturally oily flavour. Fresh Sardine Big (السردين الكبير) Size and Variant Table Variant Approximate quantity Preparation Weight Whole sardine 12 to 18 pieces Whole, uncleaned 1kg Cleaned sardine 12 to 18 pieces before cleaning Gutted and cleaned 1kg before preparation Cleaned and cut sardine Depends on fish size Cleaned and cut to order 1kg before preparation How Fresh Sardine Big Is Picked Large sardines are checked individually before preparation. Fresh Fish Dubai looks for intact skin, firm bodies, clear eyes and a fresh marine appearance rather than relying only on weight. Sardine fish contains naturally occurring oils and its flesh can soften faster than firmer white fish. For that reason, these sardines are kept continuously refrigerated between 0 and 4°C and handled gently so the skin and body remain intact during cleaning and packing.
• Large fish selection: This product is selected as the larger sardine size, with an expected 12 to 18 pieces per kg rather than the much smaller sardines that can exceed 40 pieces per kg.
• Oil rich fish handled gently: Sardines contain naturally occurring fish oils, so we avoid unnecessary pressure during packing that can damage the belly or skin.
• Fresh preparation: Fresh Fish Dubai has served customers since 2020 and prepares the sardines after your order rather than selling pre cooked sardine meat.
Clean and pat dry, season, then pan fry over medium high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Brush with oil and seasoning, then grill for around 4 to 6 minutes per side depending on thickness.
Coat the cleaned fish with spices and cook in a covered pan for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, turning once.

The main difference is size and portioning. Sardines small generally provide more pieces per kg, while Fresh Sardine Big gives you larger individual fish with more substantial portions.
If you want fewer whole fish for grilling or pan-frying, the larger size is easier to portion and serve.
