To bake fresh anchovies, clean and rinse them, then pat them dry and arrange them in a lightly oiled baking dish. Season as you like and bake until the flesh turns opaque and separates easily.
You can often eat the tiny bones in baked anchovies when they are thoroughly cooked and soft. Check the texture first, and remove the backbone if it feels firm or uncomfortable to chew.
No. Baked anchovies are usually fresh fish cooked in the oven, while canned anchovies are typically preserved in oil or salt and have a much stronger, saltier flavor. They are not direct substitutes in every recipe.
Yes, you can bake anchovies without flour. Arrange the cleaned fish in a lightly oiled dish and bake them as they are; flour or cornmeal is optional and mainly adds a coating to the outside.
Fresh baked anchovies should not taste intensely salty unless you added a lot of salt or used preserved anchovies. Salt-cured anchovies are a different product; rinse them or soak them briefly before using if a recipe allows.
Refrigerate leftover baked anchovies in a covered container as soon as they have cooled, and eat them within a few days. Do not leave cooked fish at room temperature for an extended period.
Yes, reheat baked anchovies until they are hot throughout. Covering them in the oven helps limit drying; a microwave is quicker but can soften the fish and make its texture less crisp.
Baked anchovies pair well with lemon, a fresh green salad, and roasted vegetables. Bread or potatoes can make the meal more filling, while a sharp or herby side balances the fish’s savory flavor.
Yes, you can freeze baked anchovies in an airtight freezer-safe container once they have cooled. Thaw them in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly; their texture may be softer than when freshly baked.
Yes, thoroughly cooked baked anchovies are generally considered a low-mercury fish choice during pregnancy. Follow local guidance on fish portions, and ask your healthcare professional if you have an individual restriction.

Baked anchovy is a simple way of cooking small anchovies in the oven, especially familiar from Turkey’s Black Sea coast, where hamsi is a seasonal favourite. The fish are cleaned, seasoned and arranged in a tray; home recipes may add a light coating of cornmeal, sliced onion or a little oil.
Serve it hot with lemon, salad and bread, or alongside rice for a fuller meal. Its savoury flavour and tender, moist flesh suit a straightforward fish supper, and it is easy to keep the preparation light by using only a little oil. It is protein-rich: a 100 g portion provides 20.4 g of protein.
Very 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.
