What are anchovies?

Anchovies (Alice, Acciugha)

The anchovy is a small sea fish found in warm waters. Quite often, lesser members of the herring family such as sprats and pilchards are labeled anchovies and, although they are well spiced, are not the real thing. Anchovies are used either fresh or preserved, sold in cans, boned and covered in oil, as a paste, or preserved in rock salt.
