Anchovy skewers
Line up notes
- The anchovies used in this recipe are specifically chosen for their quality. We use the brand Scalia, which is a Sicilian anchovy producer. The anchovies are cleaned and salted right as they are caught and then cured in barrels with layers of salt for at least 12 weeks. Once transferred to jars, they are stored in Extra Virgin olive oil, the fruity and bright flavors which compliment the brine of the fish well. In blind tasting, this was the preferred brand over the well-known Spanish producer, Ortiz.
