Preparation of Anchovies

  1. 1

    Rinse Anchovies

    Rinse the fresh anchovies under cold water to remove any impurities.

  2. 2

    Fillet Anchovies

    Pat the anchovies dry with a paper towel. Carefully remove the heads and guts, if necessary, then fillet them.

Marinade Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix Vinegar and Water

    In a bowl, mix together the white wine vinegar and water to create the marinade base.

  2. 4

    Combine Marinade Ingredients

    Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, black peppercorns, and bay leaves to the vinegar and water mixture.

  3. 5

    Stir Marinade

    Stir the mixture well until the salt is dissolved and all ingredients are combined.

Marinating Process

  1. 6

    Submerge Anchovies in Marinade

    Place the filleted anchovies in a glass or ceramic dish, and pour the marinade over the anchovies, ensuring they are fully submerged.

  2. 7

    Refrigerate Anchovies

    Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

    Serve Chilled

    Once marinated, serve the boquerones chilled as an appetizer or on a tapa platter, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
