3 quarts virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds fresh anchovies
= (or sardines or mackerel)
3 eggs
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup finely-chopped italian parsley
4 cups fresh bread crumbs
Salt
Freshly-ground black pepper
2 lemons
Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.
Heat oil to 375 degrees and maintain heat. Scale and gut anchovies, leaving heads and tails intact (or have your fish monger do this for you).
In a large mixing bowl, mix eggs, garlic and parsley until well blended. Dip fish 3 or 4 at a time into egg mixture and then into bread crumbs. Shake well to remove excess egg-crumb coating and fry fish 3 to 4 at a time until crisp and golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Serve immediately with salt, pepper and lemon wedges.
This recipe yields 4 servings as antipasto.
