The anchovies are a family (Engraulidae) of small, common salt-water forage fish. There are about 140 species in 16 genera, found in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. Anchovies are usually classified as an oily fish.
Small fish that is most commonly preserved in salt and sold in cans or jars and do not require refrigeration before opening. Originally white in color, curing turns the flesh a dark brown and causes the bones dissolve partially or entirely. Cured anchovies have a strong fish flavor and are very salty.
Another method of preserving is in vinegar, a popular method in Spain. Known as boquerones , these anchovies stay white and have a much more mild tangy flavor. These fish must be kept cold, but will last for months in the refrigerator.
