No.1 Fresh Black Sea Anchovy (Hamsi) - 2kg
Experience the legendary taste of the Black Sea with our Fresh Whole Anchovies. Known as the 'crown jewel' of the region, Black Sea anchovies are world-renowned for their superior oil content and rich, savory flavor that sets them apart from any other variety. As the UK's premier source for authentic Hamsi, these small, silver-skinned treasures are hand-selected at their peak and ready for you to recreate authentic seaside dishes. With their delicate texture and high Omega-3 content, our anchovies bring the true, robust spirit of the Black Sea straight to your kitchen.
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.
