Preparation of breaded anchovies to be fried

Wash the anchovies and open them in a book, then gently drying them using ordinary kitchen paper as a swab.

Match the anchovies open in a book two by two, exerting slight pressure, so as to make them stick together, then pass them first in the beaten eggs with a pinch of salt and then in the breadcrumbs.


Take a couple of breaded anchovies and press it between the palms of your hands so as to allow the breadcrumbs to adhere well.

In a fairly deep pan, heat abundant oil and dip a crumb of bread, observing if this sizzles, if so it means that the oil is ready for frying.
