how many anchovies are in the container?

I have never actually counted the number but the container stipulates that 75 percent of the 800 gram weight is actual fish and the rest is the salt they are packed in. If I were to guess based on our consumption..I would say there are approximately 45 anchovies. Each time my wife prepares a batch in olive oil and hot peppers ..there are at least 12-15 anchovies. She makes at least three batches from each can. Keep in mind that these are bigger than the De-boned anchovies you see in the small glass jar in the super market. Hope this information is helpful.

once the can is opened how fast do you need to use up the anchovies?

Transfer to a glass container (once open, the can may impart a "tinny" taste), keep the anchovies covered in salt. My last tin lasted more than a year.

Looking for “anchovies cured in salt, kept in olive oil.” Have I found them? Are all anchovies cured in salt?

These anchovies are cured and packed in salt. they are not filleted.

Mine came with a good amount of liquid. Is that normal? When storing these in glass for later, should I drain the liquid?

Sometimes the salt has liquified a bit. I store them in the tin, covered with plastic wrap, so as not to fool around with the salt until I want to use them. Then I soak them briefly in milk. If you are going to move the entire can to a glass container, I'd keep the liquid. The best Italian delis store the unopened cans in the fridge so the salt stays thick.
