Clean the sardines and remove their heads and central spine (slice in half by the belly). In a bowl, mix the flour with some water (it shouldn't get too diluted). Place the eggs, one at a time, and beat them well. Add a pinch of salt and the chopped onion. Allow it to rest. Dip the sardines in this batter and then fry them in olive oil
with the crushed garlic and the chilies. Drain and serve with a green
salad.Never replace olive oil by vegetable oil.
