- 1). Open the package and remove the number of anchovy fillets you intend to use. Cover the remainder and place them in the refrigerator.
- 2). Place the anchovies in a shallow dish. Press the fillets with your fingers, lightly flattening the fish.
- 3). Pour milk or water over the anchovies. Add liquid until the fillets are completely submerged. Wait 10 minutes.
- 4). Drain the fluid from the fish and pat the anchovies with a paper towel. Anchovy flesh is quite fragile, so be gentle. Return the fillets to the dish and cover them with a second layer of liquid. Wait 20 minutes.
- 5). Remove the fish from the liquid. Rinse each fillet under a cool stream of running water. Lay the cleaned anchovies on paper towels to dry.
