About Anchovies

Anchovies are small, green fishes with blue reflections and a silver longitudinal stripe. Their range goes up to 40 cm and are used as human food and fish bait. A traditional method of processing anchovies is to gut, salt, and pack them in oil or salt, resulting in a characteristic strong flavour. Anchovies have been around for as long as men and women have been fishing. In Roman times, anchovies were the base for the fermented fish sauce garum, which had a sufficiently long shelf life for long-distance commerce and was produced in industrial quantities.

Properties of Anchovies

Anchovies are a small, slender fishes with a distinctive flavour and aroma. They have a green-blue back, silver belly, and a silver longitudinal stripe on their sides. Anchovies range in size from 2 to 40 cm in length as adults. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Anchovies contain 12% fat and possess similar benefits offered by blue fish. Their flesh barely contains any carbohydrates. Anchovies are a good source of calcium, iron, magnesium, selenium, niacin, riboflavin, and vitamin B12. They are low in calories yet highly nutritious, making them suitable for balanced diets.

Process of Making Anchovies

The procurement process for anchovies begins with the reception of the raw anchovies, which are obtained from fishermen and brought to the processing facility. The anchovies are then washed to remove any dirt or debris and reduce bacterial contamination. Next, they undergo a drying process, typically in the sun for 1-2 days, to further remove moisture. The dried anchovies are then fried in the first stage of processing to achieve a crispy texture. After frying, a spin oil machine is used to separate and reduce the oil and water content in the fried anchovies. The processed anchovies are then seasoned with various spices and flavourings to add taste, colour, and aroma. Finally, the seasoned anchovies are weighed, packaged, often in standing pouch packaging, and prepared for sale.

Applications and Drivers of Anchovies

Anchovies are a small, oily fish that have a wide range of applications and their demand is being influenced by various environmental drivers. They are a key component of many cuisines around the world, used to add savoury umami flavour to dishes like Caesar salad dressing, pizza, and pasta sauces. Rising popularity of sea food, increasing exploration of different cuisines and flavours by millennials, and growing demand for nutritional food options are factors driving the market.

Anchovies are also an important commercial fishery, but their population is fluctuating in response to environmental factors like temperature, salinity, and ocean productivity. For example, anchovy recruitment in the Yellow Sea has been negatively correlated with high summer temperatures.
