Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Select the Anchovies

    Choose 6 fresh anchovies, preferably packed in olive oil or salt, depending on your preference. If using salted anchovies, rinse them under cold water to remove excess salt.

  2. 2

    Prep for Serving

    If the anchovies are whole, you may choose to fillet them by removing the head and tail. Use a sharp knife to gently slice along the belly and pull out the backbone. This step is optional depending on your serving style.

  3. 3

    Plate the Anchovies

    Arrange the anchovies on a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil for added flavor and a touch of freshness.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the anchovies as an appetizer or as a topping for salads, pizzas, or pasta dishes. Enjoy immediately for the best taste.
