A 1kg pack of large anchovies — small (about 3 inches long) saltwater fish closely related to herrings. Anchovies provide a solid, multi-layered base to many Mediterranean dishes, from pasta puttanesca to salade Niçoise to homemade tapenade. Don’t hide them — melt them into sauces and they leave only depth, never fishiness.

FAQ

How do I clean anchovies?

They can be washed with water or wiped with a dry cloth (to preserve their flavour).
Once washed, the anchovies should be dried with a dry cloth. Use scissors to remove the tail and the stomach to give the fillets their shape.

What’s the difference between salted anchovies and anchovy fillets?

Salted anchovies are semi-prepared products. They are sold whole in recipients where they are arranged in layers separated by salt. A certain amount of work is required before they can be eaten, as they have to be cleaned (e.g. with water) and filleted. This is why they are more popular with gourmets and experts in anchovies, as they preserve 100% of their real flavour.

Anchovy fillets are ready to eat. They have already been cured and are sold filleted, usually bathed in olive oil.

I would like to buy anchovies. Whats the difference between mediterranean and cornish?

The Mediterranean are smaller. And whilst the same species some customers have a preference. We suggest buying a pack of each to work out which ones you prefer.
