Baked anchovy cornbread is a Black Sea-style savory bake that combines anchovies with cornmeal, often along with chopped greens. It is cut into slices and served as a substantial bread or as the centerpiece of a meal.
To make baked anchovy cornbread, mix cleaned anchovies with cornmeal, water, and chopped greens, spread the mixture in a baking pan, and bake until set and browned. Recipes vary in texture and seasoning, so the mixture may be more like a thick batter or a soft dough.
Baked anchovy cornbread and hamsili ekmek are closely related Black Sea dishes, and the names can overlap in regional use. Hamsikoli is commonly described as a pan-baked cornmeal bread with anchovies and greens; there is no single fixed distinction across every household.
Baked anchovy cornbread typically contains anchovies, cornmeal, water, and greens such as spring onion, chard, or collard greens. Some versions add herbs or oil, and the exact combination reflects local and family recipes.
Baked anchovy cornbread comes from the Black Sea food tradition of Turkey, where anchovies and cornmeal are familiar staples. Hamsikoli is particularly associated with the eastern part of the region, though its preparation and name can vary locally.
Removing the bones makes baked anchovy cornbread easier to eat, especially when serving children or anyone who prefers boneless fish. Some cooks use small, cleaned anchovies whole, so do not assume the bones disappear completely during baking.
Serve baked anchovy cornbread with a fresh salad, pickles, or yogurt on the side. These lighter accompaniments balance its savory fish-and-cornmeal base without competing with the regional flavors.
Refrigerate leftover baked anchovy cornbread promptly in a covered container rather than leaving it out for an extended time. Because it contains fish, eat it soon and reheat each portion until hot throughout.
Yes, baked anchovy cornbread can be frozen after it has cooled completely. Freeze individual slices in an airtight wrap, thaw them in the refrigerator, and reheat in the oven for a better texture than microwaving.
Yes, you can make a meat-free variation of baked anchovy cornbread by leaving out the anchovies and adding extra greens, but it will no longer have the dish’s defining fish flavor. Adjust the moisture if the fish would otherwise contribute liquid.

Baked anchovy cornbread is a traditional dish from Turkey’s eastern Black Sea coast, especially associated with Rize. It combines anchovies with cornmeal and often leafy greens such as chard or spring onion, then bakes into a savoury, sliceable loaf. Recipes vary from household to household.
The crumb is soft and substantial, with the anchovies bringing a distinctly savoury, briny flavour. It is eaten warm or at room temperature as a light meal or snack, often alongside salad or yoghurt; in Turkey, it may also appear at breakfast or with tea. Cornmeal provides much of its carbohydrate, while the fish contributes protein: a 100 g portion has 10.2 g. Pair it with fresh greens for a lighter plate.
