Nettuno Salted Anchovies – Cetara, Campania, Italy - 14.8 oz

You may think you like anchovies, but you've never had anchovies if you haven't had these.Packed in salt, these anchovies come to us from the famous Amalfi Coast of Italy. There's more delicious anchovy flavor in one of these than in ten of the usual canned/tinned anchovy fillets. We use them on pizza, in pasta with pesto, and anywhere else a bit (or a lot) of anchovy flavor is welcome. And a little bit goes a _long_ way.As you take them out of the jar, rinse them in cold water. They're already sliced open at the stomach, but unless you like your anchovies crunchier than we do, you'll want to finish the filleting job: cut off the heads and tails, slice them the rest of the way open, and carefully peel out their little fishy spines and ribs (and a couple bits of squidgy fish organ). You can also scrape off the scales if you like.Just be aware that because their flavor is so strong, it may take you a long time to use up a whole jar. Once the jar is open, use them as quickly as you can -- and you might want to consider storing some of them in smaller jars or other containers, covered with salt (or maybe olive oil) and tightly sealed. We're planning to divide our next jar into smaller portions and try freezing them.(EDIT: We did try freezing them in small batches; they kept fine for several months, but then they got soft and we didn't trust them any more. Probably they'd have been safer preserved in salt.)

We live in a remote area and I ordered the salted anchovies so my wife could make traditional Korean Kimchi. These were perfect - exactly what we were looking for! The order was shipped within 48 hours and the product was really packed well so there would be no breakage.If you need anchovies for salads, pizza, kimchi, or to give any meal a burst of flavor - then these are really delicious and gourmet quality.

Amazing flavor. Great for use in dressings and sauces. Worth the money.

Yummy

If you like and use anchovies, these are the ultimate product. Ultra expensive, but ultra good. Rinse well, pull out the spine, rinse some more, use. There are some very good, cheaper anchovies packed in oil out there, but none come close to these. This is about as close to a fresh anchovy flavor as you are going to get. Save your pennies, and with gas prices lower, you can now buy the best. Life is short. Especially if you are an anchovy.

So happy with these quality anchovies. The maker's website has some great recipes for them as well. I use them on salads and pasta. Can not find this quality at your local store, that's for sure.

I recieved it overseas in fine condition

Tasty stuff - drop into sauces, add to roasted veggies in a good oil - magic.
