Marinated Fresh Anchovies
"I love anchovies and I found a Mexican grocery store that carries fresh ones and thought I would try this. Sounds a bit like Ceviche to me without all the other stuff.
Cooking time is marinating time."
- Ready In:

- 6
- Serves:

4-6
ingredients
- 1 lb anchovy, 20-30
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
directions
- To bone the anchovies, snap off the heads by grasping the body just behind the head and pulling down on the head. Most of the innards will come out with the head. Run your thumb along the belly flap, tearing the fish open all the way to the tail and removing any remaining innards. Then grab the backbone b/w your thumb and forefinger and pull it out, gently. Remove any spiny fin material and drop each boned fillet into a bowl of ice water.
- Rinse the fish and dry them with paper towels.
- Place them in a shallow bowl.
- Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, half the parsley and salt.
- Refrigerate the anchovies in this mixture and marinate them, turning gently from time to time, until they turn white, 2 to 3 hours.
- You can keep them, refrigerated, for a day or two). Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.

Single father of 5 aging in ages from 8 to 22. I recently was blessed with a grandson also. I am a partner in a commercial construction business with my best friend of the last 37 years. I must have inherited my love of cooking from my grandmothers.
I love spending time at the bar with my buddies, camping with my son, watching him ride his "toys" and I love to ride my own "toy" Harley Davidson. I am a die hard UT Longhorn fanatic. Love watching all sports, Cowboys will always rule the NFL. Gordon is the man in NASCAR. Yankees suck. As do the Red Wings, and Celtics. How many of you have I made mad? At least I am a fan and care. Go Longhorns, Cowboys, Mavs, Stars, Rangers (yeah right the Rangers are fun to laugh at anyway).
