Tips

Why it works
Mix the garlic with the mayonnaise ahead of time so the aroma spreads evenly and isn't sharp. Grate it finely to avoid lumps.
Substitutions
Replace the sprats with canned mackerel (60 g) or marinated shrimp (50 g). Instead of pickles, use fresh cucumbers, first marinated in vinegar with sugar for 10 minutes.
Common mistakes
The bread gets soggy if you spread the sauce too thickly or add wet cucumber. Check: if the sauce runs off, use less.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for no more than 1 day, in an airtight container. Assemble just before serving and don't reheat.
Serve with
Serve with champagne or a light fresh vegetable salad at a summer picnic.
