Anchovies. Where do you get the really nice ones from?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Went out for dinner last night and had some anchovies for starter.

They were not like the pathetic things you get in jars for pasta etc - these were great big silvery things, looked like sardines.

They were utterly delicious. Where can you buy them from? Can you get them from a supermarket?

waitrose and sainsburys do them - they are in a marinade rather than in plain oil like the tesco ones

Oh brilliant thanks for that!

I thought that I would have to stick with the crappy old salted ones in jars, or resort to going into a poncey deli in Cheltenham where the shop assistant looks at my asda shoes with disdain and acts like she is working in sothebies, not a grocers shop. Bitch.

So I can get these from tesco then - brilliant.

Boquerones - ooooOOOOOOOoooo, get you and your speling

Ortiz brand. Buy in bulk from spain but i think spanish deli/good deli's have them.
Have tried almost all the supermarket brands but they don't come close to these ones with their salty, beachy smell of the med. Yum

We have a good local deli that sells them - bloody expensive though!

Fishmonger at local market sells them. V nice.
