Canned Anchovy Fillets

Canned anchovy fillets are small, saltwater fish that are packed in oil or salt, offering a concentrated umami flavor that enhances many dishes. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, they have long been a staple in Spanish, Italian, and French cooking. Their taste is salty, briny, and deeply savory, with a hint of oceanic tanginess. The texture is soft and delicate, yet they maintain a slight firmness when cooked. In the kitchen, anchovy fillets are versatile; they dissolve easily into sauces to add depth of flavor, melt into dressings for a rich complexity, and can be crisped up for a savory garnish. They are prized for their ability to elevate the savoriness of a dish without overpowering other ingredients.
