Fried anchovy is a crispy, savory dish popular in Mediterranean and Southeast Asian cuisines. Typically prepared by coating fresh or dried anchovies in seasoned flour or batter and frying them in oil, it delivers a punch of bold flavor and satisfying crunch. Anchovies are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart and brain health, as well as protein, calcium, and selenium, supporting bone strength and immunity. However, they can be high in sodium, especially when preserved or salted prior to frying, which may not be suitable for those monitoring blood pressure. Fried anchovies are often enjoyed as snacks, appetizers, or accompaniments to rice and salads. While delicious, their fried preparation can increase calorie and fat content, so moderation is key to balancing taste and nutrition. This simple yet flavorful dish celebrates regional fishing traditions and makes seafood accessible in a variety of recipes.
