Ingredients

1 lbs fresh anchovy/sprats. It is imperative that the fish is very fresh. Discard all the fish that looks like it's been eaten by other fish, squashed or damaged.

Kosher salt

Directions

Behead and gut the anchovies using a spoon or your own long nails. Rinse well.

Lay fish in layers in a glass container, sprinkling them generously with coarse salt

Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Don't keep in salt longer than 8 hours.

Rinse lightly before serving - to remove the excess salt.

You can absolutely eat this fish with the back bone, but if you are not sure, remove the back bone - it will come out very easily

To enjoy this snack like a pro, serve it along side of fresh tomato salads, with sourdough bread, feta cheese, fresh cucumber, young Vidalia onions, or with fried new potatoes.
