Butterflied

Butterflied anchovies are opened flat along the belly or back—ready for stuffing, marinating, or quick frying. The form maximises surface for salt, vinegar, and breadcrumbs. Marinate in oil and garlic, or flour and fry until crisp. Use the same day when fresh; cured butterflied fillets keep longer under oil.
