Note

Tips

• - It’s necessary anchovies are very fresh (freshly caught). This is no cooking recipe.
• - Who does not like garlic can replace it with plenty of fresh chives. My husband and I like much more anchovies worked without garlic because we can enjoy anchovy own flavor better.

Menu planning

• - Serve these anchovies as starter in a typical Italian meal or second course in summer combined with potato or green salad.
