Frequently Asked Questions About Herring in Tomato Sauce
How do you eat anchovies in tomato sauce?
Anchovies in tomato sauce are ready to eat straight from the can in most cases. Serve them on toast, with rice or pasta, or alongside potatoes; a fresh salad or leafy greens balance the rich, savory sauce.
Do you need to cook anchovies in tomato sauce before eating them?
Usually, no: canned anchovies in tomato sauce are generally ready to eat. You can serve them cold or warm them gently in a pan or microwave; follow the package directions if the product gives specific instructions.
How long do anchovies in tomato sauce last after opening?
Transfer leftover anchovies in tomato sauce from the can to a clean, covered container and refrigerate them. Follow the storage period on the label, and discard them if their smell, appearance, or texture changes.
Are the bones in canned anchovies in tomato sauce edible?
If the anchovies contain small bones, canning may soften them enough to eat. Check the fish before serving, since texture varies by product, and remove any bones that feel hard or unpleasant.
What are anchovies in tomato sauce made of?

Are anchovies in tomato sauce good for you?
They provide protein and omega-3 fats, while the tomato sauce adds flavor and may contribute nutrients of its own. Canned versions can also contain substantial salt, so check the product details if you are limiting sodium.

Domates soslu hamsi means anchovies cooked or packed in tomato sauce, a preparation rooted in Turkish coastal cooking, especially around the Black Sea. It is made with small anchovies and a savoury, slightly tangy tomato sauce, and is also sold canned for convenience.
