Fish Friday

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 22 March 2008 in Food & Cuisine and Portfolio.

It's an annual tradition in Toronto's Kensington market that on Good Friday (the Friday before Easter) the proprietors of the fish markets grill fresh sardines on the sidewalk for the customers. Many years ago, they gave the sardines away for free, but these days they cover their costs by charging a dollar for the meal you see here.

I didn't go last year because of rainy weather, and indeed I haven't gone for four years I think. But yesterday, my son and I made the trip and enjoyed our sardines. It was quite a scene, and more photos will follow. But I'm starting off with this tempting morsel of haute street cuisine. And yes, we ate the heads.
