What Are White Anchovies?

White anchovies (boquerones) are fresh anchovies marinated in vinegar rather than salt-cured, giving them a completely different character from the salty pizza topping most people know:

• Mild and delicate: Clean fish flavor without the intense saltiness
• Tender texture: Silky-soft and melt-in-your-mouth
• Approachable: Perfect for people who think they don't like anchovies
• Elegant appearance: Beautiful silvery-white fillets

The Magic of Roasted Garlic

Roasting transforms garlic from sharp and pungent to sweet, mellow, and almost buttery:

• Sweet and caramelized: Roasting brings out garlic's natural sugars
• Mellow flavor: No harsh bite, just rich, savory depth
• Creamy texture: Roasted garlic becomes soft and spreadable
• Perfect pairing: Complements the delicate anchovies beautifully

Frequently Asked Questions

I don't like anchovies. Will I like these?
Probably yes! White anchovies are completely different from salty, brown anchovies. They're mild, delicate, and not fishy. The roasted garlic adds sweet, savory depth that makes them even more approachable.

What's the difference between white anchovies and regular anchovies?
White anchovies are fresh fish marinated in vinegar, making them mild and delicate. Regular (brown) anchovies are salt-cured, which makes them much saltier and more intense.

Are these sustainably sourced?
Yes! Patagonia Provisions sources only from responsible fisheries. Anchovies are naturally one of the most sustainable seafood choices available.

How garlicky are they?
The garlic is roasted, so it's sweet and mellow rather than sharp or pungent. It adds wonderful depth without being overwhelming.

Can I use these in cooking?
Definitely! They're fantastic in pasta, on pizza, mashed into butter, or mixed into salad dressings. The roasted garlic adds incredible flavor to any dish.
