Nutritional Information
Anchovies are small oily fish that are generally known as a source of protein and omega-3 fats. Since they are eaten with their soft bones, they can also contribute some calcium. Values vary with size and preparation, so check the package's Nutrition Facts panel for exact figures, and note that fish is a common allergen.


Cooking Suggestions
• Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, or seal in a bag and submerge in cold water for faster thawing
• Rinse, pat dry, and marinate with chili powder, turmeric, ginger garlic paste, lemon and salt for a Chettinad-style nethili fry
• Simmer in a tamarind and coconut gravy for Kerala nethili curry
• Coat lightly in rice flour and shallow fry for extra crunch
• Cook with onions and green chili for a Bengali-style dry fish bhuna


Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to clean these anchovies further?
They are sold dressed, so most cooks just rinse them and check for any remaining bits. A quick look over each fish before marinating is always a good habit.
Can I refreeze thawed anchovies?
For the best texture and food safety, cook thawed fish promptly rather than refreezing it. Divide the pack into smaller portions before thawing if you only need part of it.
How long should I fry big anchovies?
Usually 3 to 5 minutes per side on medium heat until golden and crisp, depending on thickness and how much oil you use.
