## Questions & Answers

**Q: Did anybody try to fry these? I love fried anchovies, a cheap delicious snack in Europe, but not that easy to find in U.S.**
A: I didn't try it, but I'm afraid you would be disappointed. The ones you got in Europe would have been fried when they were fresh (and raw). These guys have been packed in salt and are not very similar to "fresh fish". I don't think the flavor would be what you want, even if they didn't fall apart.

**Q: How long will they keep after opening?**
A: Refrigerated temperatures are a required once the anchovies have been exposed to air. Keeping the filets in brine and using plastic wrap to cover the tin will get you about 30 days of quality storage after opening. To get the maximum >2 month shelf-life I would recommend putting the anchovies in a storage container (tupperware) and adding slightly more water and salt to prevent them from drying out.

**Q: Is the head still attached?**
A: No. The head has been removed

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HAVE BEEN BUYING THESE FOR A LONG TIME
*by J***N on October 14, 2013*

Here is the deal when you receive these. When you open them up, if the salt they are packed in is all pretty much white, just transfer them into a container that you can close tightly and put into the refrigerator. If the salt is brown and has liquid, pour off all the liquid that you can, transfer into the jar, and cover with Kosher salt, then into the refrigerator. We have gotten them when they just arrived from Italy here locally in Scottsdale, ordered them from an importer in Pittsburg, and from Amazon. Sometimes they have the brown liquid and sometimes they don't. You just have to treat them right. To keep them from getting mushy, they need to be covered in salt. When you are going to use these, pick out the ones you want, rinse off the salt, pinch off the tail fin if it is there, open them up and take out the backbone and the innards. I do this under running water, which helps the process, while getting rid of the extra salt. These are really good in salads and salad dressings. I also use them most anywhere you would use salt, soy sauce or Thai fish sauce in cooking. Chop them up, and they will dissolve when you cook with them. No one will know they are there, but there is a really interesting flavor. I really like them in white clam sauce and many other pasta sauces. Another good use is Jansson's temptation, which is Swedish scalloped potatoes with anchovies layered in before you bake it. If you are used to the mushy, oil packed anchovies in the little cans, you will like these firmer ones better.

### ⭐ Do Not Buy This Product
*by J***R on July 4, 2014*

I was extremely disappointed with this product. I was pretty excited to find these on Amazon, but when I received them, they were not as advertised. Packed anchovies are usually packed in salt and moist. These were packed in so much liquid that when the package was open, the liquid squirted out. The fish looked like they had disintegrated and were all shredded. It was almost as if there was no meat to be separated from the bones. To top it all off, it's virtually impossible to return. This was a very disappointing experience and it is unlikely I will order from here again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If You Love Anchovies
*by M***A on April 8, 2013*

I gave four stars instead of five because I think these whole anchovies are for foodies who really like anchovies and are looking for a little extra and don't mind a little prepping. For that group I give five stars.These are the real thing from Sicily, little whole fishies packed in about 20% salt and brine. Not sayin' I recommend this to others but I just run cold water or soak them a little, take off the tiny heads and tails, and use the rest usually chopped up in anchovy dressing, fish dishes, sauces, stews, and whatever you like. Whatever tiny bones remaining I just never notice.These in my opinion are kinda salty but I usually use only one or two at a time and never add table salt so they usually blend in well with most dishes.Here's what I really like about these anchovies. Mortar them up with some olive oil, a little Dijon, some garlic and whatever and you have a dynamite dressing to drizzle over salads and raw vegetables. The result for me is eating a healthier diet and sending my cholesterol way down. (Not conjecture, actual results) Anchovies have the omega 3's and other health benefits, and are much better and safer to eat than larger fish which are said to contain um higher levels of you know what. Right now I'm on my second can and of course another benefit is not running out and having to run to the store.I didn't grow up eating anchovies and am not of Mediterranean ancestry but I consider the Recca whole anchovies as really flavorful and for me beneficial for a healthy diet. If you like anchovies or if you're a foodie looking for a little more then you might give these a try.
