White anchovies are fish fillets which have been lightly marinated in a brine of sea salt, white wine vinegar and garlic. Treated this way they are also known as boquerones in Europe. Picked out of the Cantabrian Sea, the delicate-tasting boquerones are not intensely fishy or salty like their hairy brown counterparts. Their slightly salty, sweet-sour taste makes white anchovies a great antipasto dish.
