Sardines for frying – Barrel butter

La belle iIoise – Frying Sardines – with Churned Butter

The La Belle Iloise Frying Sardines with Churned Butter "Beurre de Baratte" are a fine delicacy because they can simply be warmed up and lightly fried in a pan, and a delicious meal with sardines is ready. The butter needed for frying is already included in the canned fish. The frying sardines with churned butter go well with bread, both baguette and dark bread, as well as with a green salad or potatoes.

The La Belle Iloise Frying Sardines with Churned Butter is a fine, pure recipe that combines sardines with the aroma of salted butter.

Enjoyed hot, these sardines with butter and a hint of lemon bring a traditional recipe to perfection, prepared quickly in the kitchen. Before heating, place the can under warm water to liquefy the butter. Empty the contents of the can into the pan and heat the fish over very low heat to preserve the tenderness of the meat.

La Belle Iloise – Canned Fish from Quiberon

La Belle Iloise is a family business on the Breton Atlantic coast in northern France, whose name is famous far beyond the borders of France for its special canned fish. Founded in 1932 by Georges Hilliet not far from the fishing port of Quiberon, freshly caught fish of high quality have been traditionally cleaned, deboned, and finally canned by nimble hands for more than 85 years. Here, the traditional craft of the cannery, the production of canned fish, is passed down from generation to generation and thus preserved. After all, canning is a really good way to preserve fish, such as sardines, tuna, mackerel, and lobster, without preservatives or artificial additives, while maintaining high quality.

Today, the founder's granddaughter, Caroline Hilliet Le Branchou, manages La Belle Iloise, which employs between 400-800 people depending on the season. Conserverie La Belle-Iloise has remained a family business that, like in the past, values the quality of its products and working conditions. Caroline continues it with the same philosophy and love for good products, without sacrificing innovation, thus developing new, creative products. The many recipes make La Belle Iloise unique, whether with high-quality cold-pressed olive oil, with lemon, green pepper, olive tapenade, Bayonne ham, or in Muscadet wine, all are a delicacy and a visual delight in their beautiful, nostalgic cans.
