About Anchovies, canned in olive oil, with salt, drained
Anchovies are small, slender, silvery saltwater fish (family Engraulidae) that swim in vast schools in temperate seas and have been a kitchen staple since antiquity. Though edible fresh, with a mild, delicate flavor, they are most familiar cured, packed in salt or oil, which transforms them into deep, savory, intensely umami-rich morsels. Anchovies are an oily fish high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium from their soft bones, niacin, selenium, and iron.
Salt-cured fillets melt into sauces and dressings to add a powerful, non-fishy savory depth, the secret behind Caesar dressing, puttanesca, tapenade, bagna cauda, and Worcestershire sauce, and they top pizzas and pasta, while fresh anchovies are fried, grilled, or marinated in vinegar as Spanish boquerones. A little goes a long way. Choose plump, firm cured fillets or fresh fish with a clean smell, and store opened anchovies submerged in oil in the refrigerator.
