I love those little salty anchovies. A tortilla pinwheel rollup with cream cheese, ham, pickles, and anchovies. A good ceaser. A flatbread pizza. Making all kinds of spreads for toasted sourdough or focaccia. Just a good canned product that i feel like is super easy to incorporate into almost anything.

[@kraftyfrog]

[@wingdingdmetrius8025]

They're an ingredient though, no? I bought some to try on pizza. Out of the can they were fishy salt, and greasy; 0 of the qualities I want from a tin of fish. but tasted good chopped up on a pizza

[@AbuHajarAlBugatti]

@@wingdingdmetrius8025you rinse with water while in can. Also they save you having to extra include salt in dishes. I only eat them on chinese style or pasta style noodle dishes, sometimes into german potato dishes when there is a lightcolored sauce going with it. And frying them up is amazing too, you can bake up breadrolls with cheese inbetween like subway does it, throw some salad on there and crispy fried anchovies. When crispy they also mix well with rice

They didn't have the brand he featured here but my local Kroger's brand was priced and packed well enough that I have hope they wont be junk.

old comment, yes, but in the towns of Sumner\Puyallup in WA (US), there was an old fish cannery on the Puyallup river. A huge building spanning 10 acres, with extensive history. After the cannery side shut down it was turned into a huge furniture store (The Old Cannery) with a model railroad across much of it, and some amazing fudge. They do still have information about the history of the building, and it's a great place to visit

And then I opened the anchovies and BLEH! Salty, fishy, and overwhelming flavor! I took one bite and threw it out! I'm lucky I tried the herring first or that would the end of my canned fish adventures. Granted that was the only time but the future is bright.

[@alexhenderson8356]

Another great video by a budding star. Matt, those salty anchovies may not be for eating out of the can. Mediterranean people like southern Italians, use them to saute in olive oil to flavor sauces. Once you drop them into hot oil, they disintegrate. They add flavor to the sauce you are making. I don't think they are the "go to" eat out of the can fish. I'm still waiting for the Sicilian spaghetti fish with deenz and lemon! Remember Mark Bittman the writer from the NY Times?
