I adore anchovies. I love them on a good piece of bread, pizza, in a good mix of pasta. Just yum! And those who eat Thai, Laos, Cambodian food etc..fish sauce in the dishes are made with anchovies.

[@hamishmunroe9906]

Any half decent home cook has a bottle of fish sauce in their cupboard.

[@rumblefish9]

I love anchovies! On pizza, on pasta... heaven. It adds umami to a lot of dishes. A pasta puttanesca without anchovies isn't a puttanesca. It changes the taste completely.

Anchovies that goes with nasi lemak is a different kind than the one they're discussing here. The anchovies discussed here is not commonly found in Malaysia, same as our ikan bilis is not commonly found there, she probably doesnt know how to use our ikan bilis in her meals

[@leolicursi3536]

[@darryl2542]

Too many people have been traumatized by anchovies on pizza, I think, back when that was a thing. (Does anyone put anchovies on pizza anymore?) Those anchovies were always dry, overly salty things that *did* taste "fishy" in an unpleasant, strident way. But good anchovies, cooked properly, give an incredible depth of flavor to whatever they're in - beef stew in particular, is improved immeasurably by a few chopped-up anchovies cooked with the stew's base ingredients. You don't necessarily taste the anchovies, but you would note their absence. And one of Nigella's pasta sauce recipes is essentially anchovies and cream with garlic and some herbs, and it's divine.

[@MsShellectable]

You just completely repeated what Nigella said about how anchovies add depth to a dish. Excellent mansplaining! And yes, people still put anchovies on pizza. It's not a "thing."

I completely agree, I don’t like fish either. It tastes and smells like fish and people always tell me that it shouldn’t, but then what’s the point? But to each their own I guess

[@Relevus]

Fully agree, fish smells bad and has a horrible texture. I mean Oysters are like eating snot, some other fish is like eating jelly. I've tried and I can't stand it. About the only "fish" I can stomach is tempura prawns, deepfried to get rid of the fishy taste so you just get a bunch of other flavours. And no, fish and chips isn't the same and no it doesn't hide the fishy flavour, again, I've tried. I gave it a fair try and it has disappointed me at every turn
