What is the difference between the “sell-by date” and the “freshness date”?
What’s the difference between salted anchovies and anchovy fillets? Salted anchovies are semi-prepared products. They are sold whole in recipients where they are arranged in layers separated by salt. A certain amount of work is required before they can be eaten, as they have to be cleaned (e.g. with water) and filleted. This is why they are more popular with gourmets and experts in anchovies, as they preserve 100% of their real flavour. Anchovy fillets are ready to eat. They have already been cured and are sold filleted, usually bathed in olive oil.
