Frequently Asked Questions About Salted Dried Anchovy
How do you desalt salted dried anchovy?
Rinse salted dried anchovy, then soak it in cool water, changing the water until the flavor is as mild as you want. Taste a piece as it soaks, then drain and pat it dry before cooking.
How do you cook salted dried anchovy?
After reducing its saltiness, salted dried anchovy can be pan-fried, baked, or added to rice, pasta, soups, and vegetables. Add it gradually and taste before salting the dish, since the fish can season the whole recipe.
Can you eat salted dried anchovy without cooking it?
Some salted dried anchovy products are sold ready to eat, but others are intended to be prepared first. Follow the package directions; if you are unsure, soak it to reduce the salt and cook it thoroughly.
How should you store salted dried anchovy after opening?
Keep unopened salted dried anchovy in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Once opened, seal it in an airtight container and refrigerate it; discard it if you notice mold, an unusual smell, or a marked change in appearance.
What can you make with salted dried anchovy?
Salted dried anchovy works well in rice dishes, pasta, soups, and cooked vegetables, where its concentrated flavor can season the other ingredients. Desalt it first and add extra salt only after tasting the finished dish.
How is salted dried anchovy made?
Salted dried anchovy is made by salting anchovies and drying them to remove moisture. The process preserves the fish and concentrates its flavor, so the finished product is typically much saltier and more intense than fresh anchovy.
Can you use salted dried anchovy instead of canned anchovies?
You can substitute salted dried anchovy for canned anchovies, but it needs rehydrating and may have a stronger, saltier flavor. Desalt it first, use a smaller amount initially, and adjust the seasoning after tasting.
Does salted dried anchovy need to be soaked before cooking?
Usually, yes: soaking salted dried anchovy softens it and removes some of its salt. The needed time varies with the fish’s size and saltiness, so taste a piece during soaking rather than relying on a fixed time.
Can you fry salted dried anchovy?
Yes, you can fry salted dried anchovy after soaking it to your preferred salt level and draining it well. Pat it dry before adding it to the pan to reduce splattering and help it brown evenly.
Is salted dried anchovy too salty to eat regularly?
Salted dried anchovy can contribute a substantial amount of salt, so keep portions modest, especially if you are limiting sodium for blood pressure. Pair it with unsalted foods and avoid adding salt to the same meal.

What is Salted Dried Anchovy?
Salted dried anchovy is made by salting and drying small anchovies, a traditional way of preserving the catch in Turkey’s Black Sea region. The fish has a concentrated, savoury flavour, pronounced saltiness and a firm, chewy texture. It is usually used sparingly rather than served as a large portion: rinse or briefly soak it to soften the salt, then add it to rice, vegetables or other cooked dishes. In Turkey, it can bring a strong anchovy taste to a simple home-cooked meal.
It is protein-rich, with 29 g of protein per 100 g, but also very salty. Taste it before adding extra salt, and use a smaller amount if you want the anchovy flavour without making the dish overpowering.
