Perhaps I should clarify. All anchovies are salted. The most common ones you
see are fillets in cans with oil. But there are others - and this is what I
mean - that are preserved with salt and no oil. They are whole fish, you
have to scrape the fillet off before using (not hard at all). They have
better flavor than the canned ones IMO and will last forever in the fridge.
