thanks! i'm a little shy of them now cause on the weekend one got stuck in my throat, then i waited 3 days to see specialist, by which time the discomfort had gone and she didn't see anything and i was somewhat embarrassed.
Anchovies are very high in omega 3 fatty acids, and are quite beneficial -- except, they're often packed in a lot of salt and oil to get that taste, which kind of lowers the healthfulness. You can get them not packed in sunflower oil; you either want them not in oil or in olive oil, for best taste.
don't quote me but I believe you want them sitting in water, not oil. I'm using Tuna Fish as my inspiration for the answer which says the same thing.
