Antzougia

(Αντζούγια, Gavros, Greek-style anchovies)

Antzougia are Greek-style anchovies that are served as a meze. The dish is made with whole salt-packed anchovies, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil and chopped parsley. The filleted anchovies are arranged on a plate, then drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar.


Chopped parsley is sprinkled on top as a garnish. The dish is usually served with slices of crusty bread for mopping up the juices. Alternatively, serve antzougia with ouzo – the Greeks often dunk the anchovies in ouzo and say that the flavors of both the anchovies and the popular strong spirit become even better when they're eaten this way.
