Sprats, a marvelous guest from Eastern Europe, with a charming smoked taste and a very interesting meat texture. In our region, something very similar and familiar to us is sardines. To be honest, it's practically the same thing. Sprats and sardines belong to the same species of fish, known as the herring family, but they have a number of differences: 1.Sprats are smaller than sardines 2.Sprats are more nutritious and high-calorie 3.Sprats are silver-grey while sardines are somewhat grey but a lighter shade of grey. Some sardines are whitish. The quality of sardine is determined by the removal of the head and gills. Sprats don’t need to be gutted before they can be eaten. You can consume them as a whole without having to worry about the bones. The bones are a source of calcium and are soft when eaten.
