Preparation: Keep the fresh anchovies chilled until ready to cook. Rinse gently under cold water and pat them completely dry with a paper towel.

Coating: Lightly toss the fresh Hamsi in fine yellow cornflour (mısır unu) mixed with a pinch of salt until evenly coated.

The Pattern: Arrange the fish tightly in a circular, wheel-like pattern covering the bottom of a well-oiled frying pan.

Frying: Sear over medium-high heat until the bottom is golden and crispy. Place a flat plate over the pan, expertly flip it, and crisp the other side.

Serve piping hot with fresh lemon wedges, red onions, and a crisp rocket salad.
Authentic Black Sea Hamsi thrives in colder, less saline waters. This unique environment gives them a significantly higher, healthy fat content, resulting in a rich, savory flavor and a tender, meaty texture. Renowned as the 'crown jewel' of regional seafood, our Hamsi delivers the perfect balance of robust flavor and premium quality that generic varieties simply cannot match.

The Small Superfood with Big Benefits: Anchovies are one of the most sustainable and nutrient-dense treasures of the ocean. Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, Calcium, and Iron, they are a natural powerhouse for heart and bone health. Because they are wild-caught and lower on the food chain, they offer one of the cleanest and most eco-friendly seafood options available. At Seafood Xpress, our Hamsi are selected for their firm texture and shimmering silver freshness, delivering a nostalgic, robust flavour that brings the authentic spirit of the Black Sea straight to your table.
Is your Black Sea Anchovy (Hamsi) fresh or frozen?

Sourced daily and flown in under strict temperature control, it arrives chilled at your doorstep.

How do you deliver it fresh across the UK?

We use specialized temperature-controlled packaging with chilled gel packs. This ensures your fish stays perfectly refrigerated throughout the delivery.

Can I freeze it at home?

Yes. Since our Hamsi is delivered completely fresh and it is perfectly safe to freeze it for later use.

Why choose fresh Black Sea Hamsi over regular anchovies?

Regular anchovies are usually salty or canned. Fresh Hamsi is meaty, rich in Omega-3, and has a delicate flavor perfect for traditional 'Hamsi Tava'.
