The secret to more flavorful everything. 

“Good-quality anchovies add a savoriness and a fantastic nuanced depth to dishes that is nearly unmatchable by any other ingredient. I refer to them as ‘undercover flavor agents’ because their presence often goes unnoticed; they so seamlessly blend with other ingredients… The nutrient-rich fish are packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, which is an added bonus. The highest quality anchovies you can get are packed in salt.”
