Anchovies are small, silvery fish belonging to the Engraulidae family, widely known for their strong, salty taste and high nutritional value. These tiny fish are typically found in warm marine waters, including the Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Pacific Ocean. Anchovies play an important role in marine ecosystems as they form a crucial part of the food chain, serving as prey for larger fish, seabirds, and marine mammals. They are also a staple in many global cuisines, particularly in Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American dishes, where they are used fresh, dried, salted, or as a paste for seasoning.
