Taste Test – Tiny Anchovies

I purchase these tiny anchovy fish from Super 88 Market in Malden, Massachusetts. Amazingly they come gutted and skinned! Quick frozen they are perfect to throw in the freezer for later use. I dip them in egg and then corn meal before frying. The anchovies are so tiny they come out crispy and cook in minutes. They make a great fishy crunchy snack.

The tiny fish are skinned, gutted with the head removed and ready to fry.

About an inch long with many even smaller.

Crunchy and fishy.

Alex not a fan but I love them.
