Spanish-style fried anchovies
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This fish dish comes from the coastal cuisine of Andalusia and is called Boquerones en adobo. It is served in virtually every restaurant and café there and is not expensive. You can marinate the fish for 2 to 12 hours, and it should be fried in well-heated oil. This will give it a crispy crust while keeping the fish tender and juicy inside. For quick and even coating of the fish with flour, it's more convenient to place the flour and fish in a container, close the lid, and shake. Adjust the salt to your taste, but keep in mind that the marinade should be slightly over-salted. The dish is now ready to be served.
