A little trivia (possibly unwelcome!):
Some say there aren't any anchovies swimming around,
that this is the name of a food, not a living fish, but that's
not really the truth. There are schools of anchovies that
swim in the ocean, many of them near Australia.
As for sardines, <<a supposed high-toned chef and the
other, some guy who writes for the Boston Globe as
“Dr. Knowledge,” both claim sardines aren’t sardines
until they’re in a can. Sure, occasionally a herring is
a herring until it’s put in a can labeled “sardines,” but
that’s the exception. Worldwide, Sardina pilchardus is
considered the “true” sardine; that’s a fish the Brits
call a pilchard, we call a sardine. Following United
Nations guidelines, any fish sold as a sardine that is
not a pilchard-type has to bear a clarification of
exactly what species of sardine it is. Of course, this is
much ado about a foodstuff nobody likes anyway.>>
