Anchovy Skewers (Spiedini di alici)

Spiedini di alici is a traditional fish dish originating from Italy. The dish is usually made with a combination of anchovies, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic, parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. The anchovies are dredged in a mixture of breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

They’re sprinkled with flour, placed on skewers, and fried in a pan, or (more commonly) baked in the oven until fully cooked. These anchovy skewers can also be enriched with other ingredients such as pieces of mozzarella and mint, if desired.
