Either this means something entirely different or you chose a rather unexciting product.
No “succulent anchovies” or “delectable anchovies” available ?!
Oh, that gave me a good morning laugh! But in case your question is genuine: here it means "flat" as opposed to "fat" or "puffy" or "round". These little filets were indeed quite flattened, and so delicate that the contents fell apart as I was spooning out the amount I wanted. I used about half the tin's worth. I'll show it when I make the next batch of this stuff.
Edited to add, much much later: I was mistaken about the meaning. Please read on.
