Clean and thoroughly dry the anchovies, coat them lightly with rice flour, and arrange them in a single layer on an oiled baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven until the fish is cooked through and the coating is browned; use another tray rather than crowding them.
Yes, the small bones in cooked anchovies are generally soft enough to eat. If you prefer to remove them, pull out the backbone while cleaning the fish; check carefully for any remaining bones before serving it to children.
Dry the anchovies well, coat them thinly, and space them apart on the tray. Rice flour can give the surface a light crispness, but crowded fish release moisture and steam instead of browning.
Remove the heads and innards, open the bellies, then rinse the fish briefly under cold water and pat them completely dry. Dry fish take the rice-flour coating more evenly and are less likely to steam on the tray.
No, anchovies and sardines are different fish, even though both are small, oily fish and can be cooked in similar ways. This dish uses anchovies, which are typically smaller and have a more delicate texture than sardines.
Rice flour gives the anchovies a light outer coating that can brown in the oven. Use a thin layer and shake off the excess so the fish stays delicate rather than developing a thick, powdery crust.
Dry the fish, arrange them in one layer, and avoid turning them repeatedly while baking. Handle them with a wide spatula, since anchovies can break apart when overcooked or moved around too much.
Serve it with lemon and a fresh green salad; the acidity and crisp vegetables balance the rich fish. Boiled potatoes or crusty bread also make a practical accompaniment when you want a more substantial meal.
Keep leftover baked anchovies covered in the refrigerator and eat them within a few days. Reheat them in an oven or skillet to help the coating regain some texture; a microwave tends to make it soft.
Yes, freeze cleaned, well-dried anchovies before coating and baking them. Thaw them in the refrigerator, pat them dry again, then add the rice flour and olive oil; do not refreeze fish that has thawed.

Anchovy baked with rice flour and olive oil is a simple oven-cooked take on a fish dish popular around Turkey’s Black Sea coast. The anchovies are coated before baking, so the flour forms a lightly crisp outer layer while the fish stays tender.
Serve it hot with lemon and a fresh salad; in Turkey, it makes an easy lunch or dinner, often alongside bread or other seasonal sides. Anchovies provide protein and omega-3 fats, making this a satisfying main dish. For a lighter plate, keep the added oil modest and pair the fish with plenty of vegetables.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
