Wild Planet - White Anchovies In Water With Sea Salt 4.4 Oz. 180879

They taste Great! But I thought they were fillets, anyway they taste good and just have to split them to put them on a pizza to get them Flat

I feel compelled to review these because I think they require an explanation. First, these are nothing like what we usually think of as anchovies. The usual canned/jarred anchovies are used as a flavoring to add umami to a dish. These are not for flavoring but for eating. The flavor is mild and very nice. The look a bit like headless sardines but i like the flavor of these better. Second, these are nothing like Spanish white anchovies (Boquerones) either. I *love* those, but these are not pickled like those, nor are they flexible fillets. These are closer to canned sardines, but with a milder flavor than sardines. I use them in sandwiches with red onion or sweet onion, lettuce and a touch of mayonnaise. They work in salad too.

i cannot believe i like these. and they are good for you. lol taste like a great version of tuna...

Okay. These are whole anchovies. A bit dry. Not flat like used on a pizza. Not much taste.

These are fabulous! Also, they ARE anchovies, but folks are getting them confused with the salted anchovy fillets that are used on caesar salads and pizzas. Some reviewers have commented that these are sardines - they do look like tinned sardines, but sardines are much larger. These anchovies are packed in water and are wonderful on top of a salad or in a sandwich. High in protein too! Yum!
