Yes, this was a problem. I could find only 2 lb cans of salt packed
and that is a *LOT* of anchovies! As many as I ate, I could never
quite make it through a whole can before they ....just go icky!... and
I tossed the last few onces. Strange that salt packed in the fridge
would go bad.

They may last longer, but the salt level is just too much. A cow lick
has less salt!
