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.

What a delightful surprise has been to discover this brand of anchovies! As a Spanish lover of this product from Cantabria, I found that this particular brand has the right amount of salt and they’re just perfect in size and “meat”. I love them on a slice of crusty French bread spread with butter. The tin is quite nice to set in the fridge with its plastic lid. Delivery was very good too in short time and perfectly packed to guarantee freshness. I’ll surely order it again.

If you have never had these anchovies, then I would suggest you've never had real anchovies. The skinny dark brown ones you get in supermarkets are Ok to use as a seasoning, but these ones are fantastic to eat on their own. They are plum, full of flavour and not too salty.

Very tasty anchovies in a convenient resealable large can. Wonderful on toast. No need for butter, just drizzle the olive oil from the can. Buena comida!

I think , although dearer, I prefer the Comedum Cantabrico Anchovies which I had last time as the flavour is milder. However this does not detract frop, the Salanort Cantabrico Anchovies which I would order again. I would also like to mention the Basco Fine Foods chatline which answered to important questions quickly and helpfully. As a company they are very efficient and orders arrive beautifully paced and quickly.
