Anchovies are tiny saltwater fish both popular and infamous for their strong flavor. As their delicate flavor doesn't last long after they're caught, they are rarely exported fresh. Instead, they're filleted, salt-cured and packed in oil or salt in tins or jars. Preserved that way, they take on an intense but sophisticated fish flavor. The most popular and tasty are the ones in olive oil and salt. Today they are a key ingredient in Caesar salad and Spaghetti alla Puttanesca, and are often used as a pizza topping. Because of the strong flavor they are also an ingredient in several sauces, including Worcestershire sauce and many fish sauces. Anchovy paste is also available.
