Sardines with sweet potato and coleslaw

Sardines with sweet potato and coleslaw is a great alternative to the usual fried fish and chips. Sardines offer cardiovascular protection by being high in anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids. Consuming sardines can lower your risk of heart disease by reducing triglycerides in the blood. Using sweet potato instead of your usual fried chips and a healthy side of homemade coleslaw without the mayonnaise makes this a healthier version for “fish Friday”
