Fresh Anchovies

2 lb bag of local anchovies (whole) just in from SF! Mostly smalls and mediums, very delectable.

These are caught in or near SF Bay and down in the Half Moon Bay area. The gear type is purse seine. The bycatch is minimal or non-existent. Anchovy stocks are doing very well. Anchovies have been here for millions of years and hence, have adapted survival strategies that make their populations less susceptible to huge cycles of abundance and decline we see in sardine stocks. Occasionally I catch these guys myself by use of a special small mesh throw net. Take my tour and I'll teach you how to do this yourself!
