Salanort Bay of Biscay Anchovies in Olive Oil Reviews

5 Rating 55 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

These succulent, meaty anchovy fillets are so fresh and clean tasting that they seem more like just harvested fish than salted. This is the reason why people across Spain celebrate Cantabrico anchovies as some of the best in the world. Local women still clean each anchovy one-by-one just as they did in previous generations. The plump fillets are rinsed of extra salt and packed by hand. From that moment, they are kept refrigerated until they reach your table, keeping them fresh and delicate. Allow the anchovies to warm to room temperature before you serve them. They can be kept in your refrigerator for months. Serve Cantabrico anchovy fillets on freshly toasted bread drizzled with olive oil, add to cold soups like salmorejo, a type of thick gazpacho, add to crisp escarole salad with slivers of onion, sliced boiled egg and Bonito del Norte tuna with a dollop of romesco sauce or serve over fresh sliced tomatoes with celery, onion and watercress.

This is my third purchase of these anchovies from Basco. They are a decent size of fish and a very good flavour. They keep well too. My husband has also used them to make a very tasty anchovy relish as gifts.

We’ve never had anchovies anything like these ones. Absolutely delicious, eaten with just some good bread. Essential to bring to room temperature before eating.

I took a leap of faith ordering my first tin, as the photo is far from enticing. I've now received my second tin! The anchovies are so plump and meaty, and not too salty and superior to others I've tried. They do indeed keep for months in the fridge, and the anchovies are layered with intervening paper so enabling easy access without damage. Highly recommended.
