Fried anchovies – not for the squeamish

WARNING – IF YOU DON’T LIKE PHOTOS WITH BLOOD AND GUTS PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS POST

I often get the impression that people don’t eat fish more because they are not sure how to prepare them, so here we are going to show a step by step method for preparing anchovies to be shallow fried.

First wash your fish and pat them dry

Now cut off the heads and pull out the innards

Spinkle with a light layer of salt to absorb moisture, dip them in flour & shallow fry in olive oil

Serve with a slice of lemon, some lettuce, bread and a glass of white wine. Simple and great food.
