Anchovy

Anchovies are small fish that are commonly used as a food ingredient. They come from the sea and are often found in the Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans. These fish have a strong and salty flavour that can add a unique taste to various dishes.

To make anchovies for food use, the fish are usually cleaned, gutted, and sometimes filleted. They are then typically salted and packed in oil or brine to preserve them. This process helps enhance the flavour of the anchovies and makes them suitable for consumption.

Anchovies are a popular ingredient in many dishes due to their strong and savoury taste. They are often used in sauces like Worcestershire sauce, Caesar salad dressing, or puttanesca pasta. Additionally, anchovies can be found in some pizzas, stews, and dressings, adding a rich umami flavour to these foods.
