10. Pizza, no but half a tin for the salad and....

The other half a tin to eat while making the salad

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[Motley13]

12. pizza no, Caesar salad yum

I use anchovy paste a lot cooking greens, no one knows it's anchovies & it adds a lot of flavor

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. 😋

[samnsara]

35. i use the paste as well to fry with but nothings better than anchovy oil :)

[Motley13]

57. Do you mean the oil from the can of anchovies?

or is it sth you can buy like olive oil?

[Wednesdays]

15. I like them on pizza

But I have to be in the mood for it.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. I'm The Same

Once in a while i really want them. My wife can't stand them, though so it has to be a little pizza just with my stuff on it.

On the salad though! Pretty much any time.

[PJMcK]

16. Anchovies are wonderful!

I love them on pizza, salads, as part of the stuffing for chicken breasts, you name it.

But even better than the fish illustrated above are the Spanish anchovies. They aren't salted and cured like those that we know. These fish are white almost to the point of being translucent and they are so delicate in flavor and texture that my mouth is watering just thinking about them.

But I hate sardines.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. Yum! 😋

[fierywoman]

25. I didn't think I like sardines either until

I tried them :

[PJMcK]

47. They're all yours!

I've tried them half a dozen times and they're not for me.

[samnsara]

33. oh man im getting hunry now

[Thyla]

18. As a rule, nope

But I will use them if a recipe calls for them to basically be melted into a sauce and then even I don't know they are there.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

22. Ha! 😋

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

19. Yummmmm!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[PJMcK]

101. Your post reminds me of a tasteless but funny joke

Q. What's the smelliest thing in the world?

Sorry I can't post the answer on a public forum.

[Polly Hennessey]

26. Sometimes.

Add great flavor when combined with other foods.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

31. 😋

[HopeAgain]

27. A rare food

where I like the salty canned version much better than fresh. But I love the canned ones.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

32. 😋

[Drahthaardogs]

72. That's because they are cured, like a fish prosciutto.

Cool process. My nonna made her own.

[mbusby]

28. Anchovy and Jalapeno pizza...

...just say yes.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

34. Wow! 😋

Get you coming and going! 😏

[samnsara]

37. OH YUM!!!

[Dave Starsky]

87. Yeah, I know, right?

That actually looks really delicious.

[Lint Head]

29. Never met Anne Chovies.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

38. A little on the salty side but nice girl! 😏

[Lint Head]

45. Someone did tell me that she cussed like a sailor.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

48. A drunken one! 😏

[samnsara]

30. call me crazy but i LOVE anchovies on anything!!! I always have a can of them and I use the oil

...to fry spuds in.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

39. Yum!😋

[Jack-o-Lantern]

36. Pizza with anchovies? Once in awhile is okay.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

40. 😋

[ailsagirl]

41. Nope

[Floyd R. Turbo]

42. 😢

[ailsagirl]

66. To be honest...

I've never had them. But I've always heard the expression, "Hold the anchovies," so consequently I never tried them. I could be missing out!

[CatMor]

43. Love them

[Floyd R. Turbo]

44. 😋

[JawJaw]

46. Yes, but...

...only off the bone.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

49. But of course! 😏

[eissa]

50. My first time eating anchovies

was in Rome back in my college days. It was late Sunday and everything was closed except the hotel's restaurant, and they didn't have much of a selection. We asked for pizza and they said they only had one kind left, so we said we'd take it. It's Italy, how bad could the pizza be? We noticed something blackish encircling the top of the pie and had no idea what it was. We tasted it, and threw it back. Fearing whatever was placed on the pizza had spoiled, we asked the waiter what we were eating. No, it wasn't spoiled, it was just anchovies. Never again!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

52. 😢

[yellowdogintexas]

67. Only fresh caught. Only in Spain. Sardines too.

When in Spain I ate more varieties of fish and ate it more often than I have in the 35 years since.

So we were in Seville and ordered this fish platter to split. We had learned how to recognize hake, and there was flounder I think and octopus rings. Then there were these two different whole fish which we could not identify. Sardines and Anchovies, per our waiter. We enjoyed them !

Hake is an outstanding fish. After the first time we had it, when we found it on the menu, one of us would order it. We had it cooked several different ways.

[democratisphere]

51. I'll take mine with triple anchovies!

Delicious.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

54. Damn straight!

One of my favorite restaurants in Hawaii is Duke’s. They have a great Caesar salad bar. My plate typically consists of a few lettuce scraps, a spoon of dressing, a couple of croutons, some shaved Parmesan, and a pound or so of anchovies!

[democratisphere]

58. That sounds so good. Caesar salads and pizza are 2 of my favorite delivery systems for anchovies!

Great OP! Thanks Floyd R. Turbo!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

59. My pleasure!

[dhol82]

53. Anchovies-YUM!!!

Best way to impart umami with little effort.
Love them on everything except dessert.
However they have to be packed in olive oil otherwise they can be dry. I like them plump.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

55. 😋

[bbrady42]

56. On the pizza, no. In the sauce, big yes.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

61. 😋

[Binkie The Clown]

60. On pizza, yes. Anywhere else? meh! nt

[Floyd R. Turbo]

62. 😋😢

[matt819]

64. +1 for anchovies

And while I'm pulling them out of the jar to put on pizza or a salad, I take a few and just pop them in my mouth. I love anchovies.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

65. 😋

[sakabatou]

68. According to me and my family: hell no!

[OriginalGeek]

73. towards the end of my pizza delivery career

i had enough seniority I could tell them I wasn't taking that stinky shit in my car. Give it to a n00b.

Nowadays I make a pretty decent green goddess dressing with anchovy paste and I can eat a Caesar salad with them in the dressing but that's about the extent of my anchovy consumption.

but man, that anchovy, lettuce, tomatoes and capers toast thing up there is making me think about it...looks delicious...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

79. 😋

[Raster]

76. In cooking... Yes! They bring an umami taste to sauces, dressings, etc....

...naked and unadorned? NOPE!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

80. 😋😢

[3catwoman3]

81. I LOVE anchovies!

The paste, chopped finely into something, the whole fish. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmmmmmmmmm. I have been know to put whole anchovies of Stoned Wheat Thins and munch 'em down just like that.

Those pictures you posted are making my mouth water.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

84. 😋

[longship]

82. Anchovies on pizza is wonderful.

I don't always have it that way, but when I do I've never regretted it.

Anchovies are absolutely wonderful.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

85. 😋

[geardaddy]

[Floyd R. Turbo]

92. How rude!

[Ohiya]

98. My bad upbringing...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

104. As good an excuse as any!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

89. Bait or cat food.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

93. Not on my watch!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

96. Since I don't fish it will have to be cat food rather than bait.

Remember, I'm the one who fed caviar to the cat.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

97. Damn lucky cat! 😏

[ornotna]

90. Sometimes

Yes.
And anchovy paste in many recipes to give it an extra yum factor.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

94. 😋

[jpak]

91. Yes!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

95. Oh man! 😋

[Blue_Tires]

99. Never...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[Siwsan]

102. Necessary for a great Caesar's Salad and Puttanesca sauce

As long as the flavor is subtle and not overwhelming, it can be a tasty ingredient.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

105. 😋

[heaven05]

[Floyd R. Turbo]

106. Not here! 😋
