Anchovies (Or Sardines Or Mackerel), Fried Genovese Style

Recipe Ingredients

3		Virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs	681g / 24oz	Fresh anchovies = (or sardines or mackerel)
3		Eggs
3		Garlic cloves - very finely chopped
1/4 cup	36g / 1.3oz	Finely-chopped italian parsley
4 cups	584g / 20oz	Fresh bread crumbs - very finely chopped
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
2		Lemons - in wedges

Recipe Instructions

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.
