Anchovy

Anchovies are small, oily fish used widely in Mediterranean and Southeast Asian cuisines — often preserved as fillets, salt-cured, or used whole for umami-rich sauces and condiments. They are prized for intense savory flavour and are commonly used as a finishing ingredient on pizzas, in dressings, or as a salty garnish. Nutritionally, Anchovies are a concentrated source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, providing about 2200mg of omega-3s per 100g, and they also supply high-quality protein and notable amounts of vitamin B12 and selenium. Because of their nutrient density they are an efficient way to boost heart-healthy fats and complete protein in small portions; they also deliver more vitamins and minerals than many other small seafoods while remaining low in carbohydrates.
