Excellent Anchovies

2.2lbs of anchovies may be over the top, but when they are as good as these, then over the top is the place to be. The difference in taste to regular anchovies & these salted one ones is like the difference of filet mignon to a fast food hamburger...unless you LIKE fast food... It may seem expensive to buy this many, however, they last indefinitely, and one will usually take the place of a whole can of the grocery store variety. Yum!

WHOLE anchovies, but excellent!!

This GIANT can of anchovies is an incredible value, but please be aware that they are WHOLE, SALT-PACKED anchovies. They arrived super fast, and they are huge and delicious, but you WILL need to fillet them yourself!! Half the can is salt -- they are VERY salty!! Also, the can is marked "MUST BE REFRIGERATED" but was shipped via standard UPS. I can only hope that it means "Must be refrigerated AFTER OPENING" [emphasis mine]!! :-)

Real Anchovies!

A tad larger than the ones you find at the local grocery store, but they're real anchovies straight from the ocean. I still have a few left and have a big smile on my face when consuming two or three. Easy to cut the tail off and debone. Real anchovies! Yes, money well spent if looking for the real thing.

Perfectly delicious!

An amazing difference from the old canned anchovies! Try them, you'll never go back. Store in a plastic or glass container after opening and you're good to go for a long time, if they last that long!

For those anti anchovy folks, try these. Rinse ...

For those anti anchovy folks, try these. Rinse and clean in water and peel off the 2 fillets. If you still need less of an anchovy flavor, then let the cleaned fillets soak in water for about 30 mins.

These are anchovies?

These anchovies are excellent; nothing like the salty, fishy cousins packed in oil available on a grocers shelf. Instead the taste has depth and character, somewhat like a sardine but with a little more bite. The drawback here is that you must scrape the skin off and "filet" the little fishes, worth the effort in my opinion.

Yum!

Arrived quickly, packaging in good shape. Makes wonderful bagna cauda, and Iook forward to using these as the salt component in many other dishes.

Five Stars

Great taste. I got hooked on them. I will order again.

Crescendo of your anchovian experience

sure, friends and family will wonder why you have a kilogram (that's 2.2 lbs to you and me) of anchovies in your fridge....but once they taste these anchovies they will understand. Jam packed in salt, reminiscent of an artic expedition's survival fare, the can of choice Recca Mediterranean anchovies is de rigueur for the true anchovy aficionado...pick up a tin today
