Agostino RECCA Whole Anchovies in Salt Imported Italian Anchovies Agostino Recca, from Sciacca, Sicily, has become one of the most reliable producers of anchovies now being imported into the United States. The Recca family is not a stranger to quality, flavor and tradition. These Recca Anchovies from Sicily are whole salted fillets packed in salt and a touch of brine. It is also important to note that these anchovies do require some extra work to remove the backbone and tail, but the extra work and time to soak the de-boned anchovies in cold water for 15-20 minutes before using, yields a flavor out of this world and we have actually found they are less salty than the oil packed anchovies. We recommend that once the can is opened, to keep the remainder of anchovies and salt in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will keep indefinitely.

However, the product receives mixed feedback regarding its texture, with some finding it excellent while others describe it as mushy. Moreover, customers disagree on the value for money, with some saying it's worth every cent while others find it too expensive. Additionally, there are concerns about rust resistance, with multiple customers reporting damaged and rusted cans, and complaints about a rancid smell. The salt content and cleaning ability also receive mixed reviews.

Recent User Experience

First of all, let's get this straight - these are SALT-PACKED WHOLE ANCHOVIES - exactly as the name says, these are anchovies packed in salt. They are whole (except for the head and guts) - which means that they have bones and skin. They are packed in salt - if you try to eat them straight out of the plastic tub, it's going to be like sucking on a salt-shaker. A salt-shaker with bones.But, if you take the time to prepare them, they add tons and tons of flavor to what you may be cooking. What I like to do is take an anchovy out of the tub (the resealable plastic tub is far better than the metal can that they used to come in), scraping off and leaving in the tub as much salt as I can. Then, under cold running water, I strip the filets off by running my thumbnail down the spine from the neck opening to the tail. Rinse each filet, and they're ready to use. Some people/recipes will soak the filets in oil, water, milk to reduce the saltiness and fishiness even further, but I usually just use them as-is. Wonderful cooked into a pasta sauce (saute in olive oil until they fall apart), put on pizza, added to a caesar salad dressing, or even on cold thickly buttered toast. Yum!The only brand that I've been able to find locally after much searching is this Agostino Recca brand, and they've always been delicious. These from Amazon are no exception!
