You don't want to throw the oil out: it has absorbed
some of the Omega-3's and other good stuff, not to
mention flavor.  (You know, like they always said
about the liquid from the canned veggies that none of
us eat any more.)  Since I usually eat my sardines
either on salad or with stir-fried veggies, I just
dump the whole can in, oil and all.  Same thing if I
throw them in a quiche or make a fish loaf/fish
patties; just use them undrained.

I also treat canned salmon and mackerel the same way.
