How to make
Gavros fish (or also called anchovy) can be prepared in two ways:
- If they are very small, just remove the entrails and the heads and leave the central bone;
- If there are larger ones among them, remove the central bone, the head and the entrails and leave the two fillets attached to the tail.
I have attached a picture of what they look like.
Wash and strain the small fish. While I clean them, I wash each one separately and then I wash them all together again.
Prepare the two flours mixed with the salt in a bowl.
Roll each gavros in the dry breadcrumbs and fry them in the oil heated on moderate to high heat.
When the fried fish is lightly golden, remove and place it onto kitchen paper to strain excess oil.
Wonderfully crispy and delicious fried gavros which I served with lemon wedges, fried new potatoes and a nice white wine.
Enjoy it and Cheers!
