Breaded Anchovies are a typical dish of Italian culinary tradition. Fresh anchovies are breaded and fried, creating a crunchy and flavorful main course. Perfect to enjoy as an appetizer or served with a fresh salad.
Clean the anchovies very carefully and cut the gills with a pair of small scissors
Very small specimens can be left whole and it is possible to eat the bones as well without problems, while in larger ones the central spine must be removed
Wash and dry the fish and season them with salt and pepper
Lightly flour them, dip them in the beaten egg and then in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently
Heat the butter and olive oil in a frying pan and fry the anchovies on both sides
Remove them from the cooking vessel when they are well browned, blot them with kitchen paper to remove excess grease and serve immediately
