The anchovy is salty and hairy. It's not just any small fish. Now
having said that,
I come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as cod either.
So, since
there is no such thing as cod fish, then it stands to reason that
there is no such
thing as as an anchovy which is a specific fish. So in other words, I
agree with
your post. Just don't **** around and try and make me look like a
stupid ****ing
jackass and I'll be your huckleberry. I used to eat anchovies until I
found out that
they were not a specific fish, but were a specific fish found off of
the coast of
Peru. And other western South American lands. So go and do drug
crime in
your favourite lands, and I'll forgive you; although the Drug
Enforcement Administration will not.
