I came up with this recipe because I couldn’t find the canned sardine app for my new smartphone. Also because I found some really good tinned sardines when I was in Monterey, CA last Fall. While there I discovered Cannery Row Sardine Co. The young entrepreneur behind this had the brilliant idea of bringing back sardines to Cannery Row. And he has a great product. Go to www.canneryrowsardineco.com to order. The price is a bit high but worth it in a supply and demand universe. I liked their stuff so much that I wrote this recipe for them and put it on my blog. But you can use other quality sardines as well. And please note that Monterey Bay Aquarium's "Seafood Watch" lists Pacific sardines (wild caught) as a "super green" choice. We are a serious devotee of Seafood Watch.

<br />This sandwich is a riff on the pan bagnat and it will be “wet.” It’s supposed to be. Have an ample amount of napkins on hand. This recipe makes two sandwiches; one for yourself and one for your spouse or girlfriend when she gets home. Wrapped it will hold well in the refrigerator.
