Anchovy fillets in olive oil
Our canned Cantabrian anchovy fillets come directly the wild waters of northern Spain, where Emilio and his fellow fishermen catch the anchovies in a sustainable way. Carefully hand filleted and salted for that distinctive, rich flavor. Perfect for giving your pizza, pasta or salad a flavorful boost!
Anchovy fisherman Emilio has been fishing with respect for nature and tradition for 41 years: “I learned the trade from my father and brother and bought my first boat from him”.
Are you pregnant? You can safely enjoy Fish Tales anchovies, as long as you heat them properly, for example, on a pizza. This fits perfectly within the advice from the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment to eat fish twice a week during pregnancy.
You can eat the anchovies straight from the can—delicious and easy! If you prefer to use them with a little less salt in a dish, simply place them in a bowl of milk for about 30 minutes. This will remove some of the salt, giving you the perfect flavor!
Anchovies are salty because salt plays a crucial role in the ripening and preservation process. The fillets are fermented in salt for at least 6 months, which helps develop their rich flavor, tender texture, and characteristic reddish-brown color. Additionally, salt acts as a natural preservative by drawing moisture out of the fish and preventing the growth of bacteria and mold. This ensures the anchovies are not only delicious but also have a longer shelf life!
