Cetara anchovies in salt

Cetara is a small village on the Amalfi Coast, renowned worldwide for its anchovies. Even today, tradition dictates that fishing takes place during specific periods of the year, and that the anchovies are processed strictly by hand. After being cleaned, the anchovies are carefully placed in glass or wooden containers, such as terzigni, in which layers of anchovies alternate with layers of salt. They are larger than average in size because the fishing process is highly selective, using only large nets
