This recipe from Malaga, Spain describes how to make fried anchovies, which the author believes is the best fish dish they have ever tasted. The recipe involves cleaning fresh anchovies, soaking them in ice water to remove blood, drying and flouring them, then deep frying at 175 degrees until crispy, about 3-4 minutes. The fried anchovies are then placed on absorbent paper to remove excess oil before serving optionally with slices of fresh lemon.
