Marinated White Anchovy Crostinis
What is the difference between white anchovies and regular anchovies?
The only difference is in how they're cured. Tinned anchovies are normally filleted and packed in salt for up to 10 months before being canned, usually in oil. During the lengthy salting, the white flesh turns brown. White anchovies are only briefly salted before being packed in a pickling solution of vinegar and oil.
