I love anchovies , love em on pizza (not every pie I eat) and love them on Caesar Salad made in my home and sometimes sauteed in pan when making some dish or another where they melt away and impart that intense umami flavor in the end dish. These anchovies are among the best you can get to buy here but you need to work for them if you want to enjoy them. Anchovy fillet for fillet they are super tasty after you thoroughly clean them and rinse them several times in changes of water or use milk. After my first purchase I am pretty good at cleaning the whole anchovy and getting 2 lovely fillets. 30 minutes rinse time (changing water 3 times) and drying completely and YUMMY. When my package arrived today I immediately opened and picked out about 10 fishes , many a really nice size and then packed the remainder of tin in a Ball jar with the salt content from tin covering the anchovies and these babies will last over a year in fridge,maybe longer as long as salt covered fully. Shipper sent out tins best by sometime in 2020 so superb freshness too.Keep in mind while tin is 800 grams your actual fish content is way less at 600 grams which gets reduced even greater once each fish is cleaned fully but quality is there. So unless youre lazy or dont care about cost these are a great buy for any anchovy lover.!!!!! Review: Salt-packed; gutting required; worth the trouble! - Although it's not clear from the photo, at this point, the anchovies come in a resealable plastic can, rather than the former metal one--a great improvement for consuming them over a period of weeks. The anchovies are thick packed in salt and have heads removed, although spines and intestinal tracts are still there. With a little practice, slicing the ventral side carefully with a sharp knife, opening up the abdomen, and pulling out the spine (the guts come out with it), and rinsing the salt load off under running water gives you a much better anchovy than the typical "canned in oil" type. Once they're thorough rinsed, soak all the anchovies you've prepared in milk for 15 minutes (which further dilutes the salt remainder), rinse again, and serve. I recommend dredging them through olive oil and presenting them on toast. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06Y64KK8Z | | Best Sellers Rank | #228,308 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #104 in Packaged Anchovies | | Biological Source | Anchovy | | Brand | Agostino Recca | | Brand Name | Agostino Recca | | Coin Variety 1 | Anchovy | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 60 Reviews | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Item Form | Whole | | Item Package Weight | 1.91 kg | | Item Weight | 800 g | | Package Weight | 1.91 kg | | Part Number | 0AU-GGE-4F7 | | Size | 1.76 Pound (Pack of 2) | | Specialty | Wild Caught | | Temperature Condition | Fresh | | UPC | 669393950806 | | Unit Count | 70.4 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Agostino Recca - **Item Form:** Whole - **Item Weight:** 800 g - **Package Weight:** 1.91 kg - **Specialty:** Wild Caught ## Images ![Fresh Anchovies from Italy - Whole Anchovies for Pizza, Pasta, and Salad - Salted Anchovies in an 800g Can (Pack of 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TThU5Q21L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can not beat the quality once each is cleaned fully *by S***R on March 21, 2018* Not everyone loves anchovies and mostly because if they try some on something like pizza it is almost always those lousy tinned ones from Morocco (although I have been to a pizzeria where the used top quality anchovies from Sicily but they cost ).

Of the 800g, 600g or more was salt and water. They were very bony. and tough.. I gave them one star only for the nice can. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/41407857-fresh-anchovies-from-italy-whole-anchovies-for-pizza-pasta-salad](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/41407857-fresh-anchovies-from-italy-whole-anchovies-for-pizza-pasta-salad) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
