About Anchovies

Anchovies are small oily fish used as food, sold fresh or in preserved forms such as salted, cured, or canned fish. They may be eaten on their own or used in sauces, dressings, and other dishes to contribute a pronounced savoury flavour.

The fish are generally slender, with soft flesh when preserved; colour, texture, saltiness, and intensity vary with species, size, and processing. The plural category does not identify a particular species, preservation method, or whether the fish are whole, filleted, or otherwise prepared.
