Anchovy

SCIENTIFIC NAME / Εngraulis encrasicolus Min. ORDER / 10KG 60-80 pieces / kg   Anchovies area tiny but delicious bait fish found throughout the world in temperate oceans. Most that reach the United States are caught off California. Although they are an incredibly important part of the diet for not only multitudes of marine fish, they are also marine mammals and seabirds. High in oil and considered a delicacy in many cultures, anchovies are traditionally gutted, salted and stored in oil or vinegar. Highly seasonal and always limited in supply. Substitute sardines.
