Amazon sardine
Amazon sardine
Despite the common name, the flavor has nothing to do with sea sardines. It's much more like a lambari (small freshwater fish), but much larger. It's like an appetizer served whole, a single portion that you eat with your hands. Affordable price that provides a sensational experience. But it has a lot of bones, so the tip is to score (shallow cuts) the fish on the outside.
