Anchovies with shallots and bread 😋
If you want an even more intense taste adding butter to the bread will do that but in the interest of being able to enjoy the anchovies for many years to come I resisted 😂🤷🏻♂️

While they were salty as anchovies tend to be…
These particular ones had a mellow flavor that really elevated them above most others I have tried. I love pairing them with fresh stracciatella di buffala and chilies but finding stracciatella here is neigh on impossible 🤷🏻♂️
I love anchovies just over a little piece bread with some butter previously spread on it. Agree that anchoview are usually too salty, so finding a mellower brand is great.

Finding stracciatella where I live is sadly almost impossible 🤷🏻♂️ But there is a shop about 90 minutes away in a neighboring county that on occasion has it 🤞🏻
Love anchovies.
I finish the can 700 grams every two weeks. No bread just pure with evoo. Never an other oils. Hard to find in evoo. ...
Maybe leaving out the bread is the answer…
But they taste so good with it 😂🤷🏻♂️ Fabulous shots indeed, Bill - and all the other things on the table looks similarly tasty 😋
I’m mainly a sardine man, but can certainly swallow a few anchovies, in a pinch!
Whitebait is good too ...
Very much a sardine man myself 😋
Need to take time to find the pictures of a sampling sardinathon I did earlier in the year 😁👍🏻
Meta marketing found me…
And kept proposing a fish can dealer until I buckled and got sardines from some 20 different manufacturers or so. I thought of doing a comparison but never got around to it. But ate all of them and there were none that were not tasty 😋 I will dig out the ...
