Baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil is made by coating cleaned, dried anchovies lightly in cornmeal and arranging them in a single layer on an oiled tray. Bake until the flesh turns opaque and separates easily with a fork.
Yes, gut the anchovies before making baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil. Rinse them briefly, then dry them well; excess moisture makes the cornmeal coating clump and keeps the fish from browning properly.
For crisp baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil, dry the fish thoroughly, use a light coating of cornmeal, and leave space between pieces on the tray. Crowding traps steam, so the coating is more likely to turn soft.
Yes, the small bones in baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil are generally edible after cooking and soften as the fish bakes. Remove the central backbone if you prefer, or if serving someone who may have trouble with small bones.
Fine or medium cornmeal works well for baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil. A thin, even coating clings better and is less likely to taste gritty than a thick layer of coarse meal.
Baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil can stick when the tray is dry or the fish is still wet. Oil the tray, pat the anchovies dry, and arrange them in one layer so they release more easily after baking.
Serve baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil with lemon and a crisp salad, which balance its savory flavor. Roasted vegetables or simple boiled potatoes also make a good side without covering up the taste of the fish.
Yes, you can make baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil with frozen anchovies. Thaw them in the refrigerator first, then drain and pat them very dry; baking them while icy or wet can leave the coating soggy.
Store leftover baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it soon. Reheat it in the oven for a better texture; the microwave tends to soften the cornmeal coating.
Yes, baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil provides protein and omega-3 fats, and baking avoids deep-frying. Pair it with vegetables or salad for a balanced meal; anyone with a fish allergy should avoid it.

Baked anchovy with cornmeal and olive oil is a Turkish preparation, especially associated with the Black Sea coast, where anchovies are a seasonal staple. The fish is coated in cornmeal, arranged with olive oil and baked, rather than fried in a pan. It comes out with a lightly crisp coating, tender flesh and the anchovy’s savoury, distinctly marine flavour.
In Turkey it is often served hot as a main dish, with lemon, salad and bread; cornbread is a fitting companion in the Black Sea region. For English-speaking readers, it also works well as a simple shared supper with roasted vegetables. Anchovies contribute protein and omega-3 fats, while the cornmeal adds a little fibre. Pair it with fresh greens for a lighter plate.
