Take one can of sardines, remove the back - bone from the fish, add juice of one lemon, one tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce. Mix the above thoroughly and spread on buttered bread. Before placing layers of bread together, add a few slices of pickled onions.
Work required amount of sardines into a paste with a broad knife or spatula. Add to this very tiny pickled onions, the quantity depending upon the taste, about one-quarter as much onion as paste, is good. Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, celery salt and a liberal amount of lemon juice.
This is delicious for sandwiches, to serve on small pieces of toast with cocktails, or on crackers with salad.
Take each fish, lightly scrape off skin and remove the tail, and pick the meat into convenient sized pieces with a fork. Put the pieces into a bowl of lemon juice and let stand a few minutes. Then drain and spread on thin slices of bread between fresh lettuce leaves. If the "Soused" Sardines are used, substitute mayonnaise dressing for the lemon juice.
Very tasty sandwiches can be prepared by mincing fish with half the quantity of hard-boiled eggs and moistening with mayonnaise dressing. Place this mixture between thin slices of bread and cut into small squares with a sharp knife.
