Sardines hit the grill all summer long — charred outside, rich inside, eaten off the plate with bread, lemon, and whatever else is on the table.

One tin, one pot, a real hot meal somewhere with no cell service. The ramen is just the vehicle; the tin is what makes it good. That's Sardine Summer — pack a few BELA tins, get outside, and eat better than the trail usually lets you.
