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.

Those are some fatties! I'm very jealous.

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 😄)

Sadly, the only  anchovies I can find here (apart from other fish mistranslated) are these.

 

 

These are Italian and not intrinsically bad but I like my anchovies packed in salt, not oil.

I did buy a few cans of the salted last time I was in the UK (2019) and smuggled them into China but they now are long gone.

That's an air fryer jacket potato on the plate with the sardines. These were very good with a dab of peperoncino preserve, mashed into the spud. I used the olive oil from the tin instead of butter.

Oh, I do love anchovies! No one else at home eats them, so it's not that often I open a tin or bottle. I don't like the olive oil clagging up in the fridge, so I'll search out some packed in salt.
