How to choose fresh, good anchovy fish
- You should choose fish with shiny skin, clear eyes that are not cloudy and watery.
- To check the freshness of the fish, you can press it with your hand; if the fish meat is still elastic, the fish is fresh and you should buy it.
- Do not buy smashed anchovies, fish whose bodies are detached from the head, or fish that smell bad or are rotten.

Prepare the Anchovies
After purchasing the anchovies, soak them in salt water for 30 minutes, then rinse them clean and let them drain.

Tip: You can put the anchovies in a colander and use your hands to stir them under running water to help clean out any dirt from the insides.
