I had some of these yesterday. OMG so so good.

They are boneless fillets of white anchovies in vinegar & oil...

You eat them on crackers or bread, They arent salty.

Aside from Whole Foods, where else can I buy them?

Are they "In Season" at Costco? Ive read they sell then there but a call to Costco says no.

Anyone have any dishes they make with them?

Im quite obsessed since yesterday. Im afraid Im gonna ring up quite a tab in them since they are $25+ a package

Thanks for the answers

If you ever get a chance to make these from scratch, go for it. They were my first dish, arriving at a friend's apartment in Genova on my first trip to Italy, and they blew my mind like few dishes do in a lifetime.

Usually if u buy them fresh in Greece where i come from u can get them for $2/lb. They are very easy to debone and marinate if you can find them. Alternatively you could try a local small fish from your area as a substistute

these are bocarones, very common in Spain. I lived there two years and had them as often as possible. very vinagre taste very cheap then recently in the last 10 years or so imported here very expensive.

addicting.

There's a sale going on right now at La Tienda. Boquerones in olive oil and vinegar are half price: $12.20 for two 2.65-oz packages (75 g drained weight). They keep very well in the fridge, so stock up!

While you're at it, there's other good stuff in the sale, like these outrageous chocolate-covered figs filled with a chocolate and brandy mousse.

I've also bought excellent cooking chorizo from them. The sale price works out to $11/pound, which isn't bad for such a quality product.
