About Anchovy sauce

Anchovy sauce is a fish-based sauce made with anchovies or anchovy-derived ingredients. It is used in small amounts as a condiment or seasoning in foods, where it contributes a savoury, salty taste.

The sauce may be thin or thicker and can range in colour from pale brown to dark, depending on its recipe and processing. Ingredients and methods vary, and the name alone does not establish whether it is fermented, diluted, or combined with other seasonings.
