Almost ran out of anchovies … Phew - reinforcements have arrived. Crisis averted!

I love how nicely packed they are. 
 

Edited to add that I just realized there's no tin here so I’m out of compliance with the topic title. Ooops.

Yes, they offer smaller jars but I’m pretty sure the bigger ones have fatter fish!

They really do, I'll dig a photo out for what I can get a hold of

 

Edit: this is about as good as it gets. Note the weight. A mighty 95g!

There's probably an importer for big Spanish/Portuguese specimens (or was, thank you Brexit) but lord knows what the prices are like now.

 

My Ma is off on a cruise round there in a couple of weeks, I've asked if she can grab some (and possibly woken her up which will make her too annoyed to bother 😄)
