Olasagasti Basque Anchovies

at Sqirl · $13.80

Our market buyer Michelle is eating these on a Clark Street baguette and generous pat of butter, finished off with Daybreak Seaweed Salt. Unlike the vinegar-marinated white “boquerone” style of anchovies, these anchovies are fried in olive oil “a la Donostiarra” with garlic and cayenne pepper. Uniquely, these anchovies are not packed tightly to the brim with fish. This is a trademark of Basque brand Olasagasti, who feel that using a larger tin gives the anchovies space to move and become covered in the marinade of olive oil, garlic, cayenne, wine vinegar and salt. Use the leftover oil to sauté your vegetables and proteins.
