A small fish. A whole coastal culture.
Few fish are as closely associated with the Black Sea table as hamsi. This small, plankton-feeding fish gathers in large schools; as the water cools, its seasonal movements bring winter concentrations towards the southern and eastern Black Sea.
Its flavour has a seasonal story. Feeding and the annual cycle affect the fat content of anchovy, helping explain why the character of a catch can change through the year. Simple cooking lets that character speak.
This is whole, block-frozen Black Sea anchovy, packed with a plastic liner. Each 16 kg carton contains two 8 kg blocks.
