So when we got home, I tried my hand at it and so far it would definitely be added to our regular menu. So I am sharing this simple (and inexpensive) dish.
1/4 kilo or 1/2 pound fresh anchovies
salt
1 slightly beaten egg with 3 tbsps. water
potato flour or potato starch
2 cups oil
Clean the fresh anchovies and salt it to remove the fishiness. Wash the fish again and let it drain well. Heat pan with oil. Dredge each anchovy in flour, then in egg wash, then dredge again in potato flour. Deep fry anchovies in several batches until crisp but not burnt. Remove from oil and drain excess oil in paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Serve with vinegar and hot rice.

I'm going to try the recipe myself but can I substitute wheat flour for potato flour?
Hi Roy. Thanks for dropping by. I have not tried wheat flour. It may not produce the same crunchy texture. Cornstarch would be the next substitute that I have tried. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the suggestion. Corn starch would be easy to find. Have a nice day.
Do you have other recipes that are as simple or easy to cook as this one?
Sure thing Roy. I actually have a few that I haven't gotten the chance of writing them up. A friend of mine is requesting that I try the Curry Katsudon/Tonkatsu. I will post the best one I have so far soon. Do come back soon for new easy recipes.
