I don't know what kind of anchovies in oil do you have. Here are less salty
then the saly-packed ones. We prefer them!
Anchovy paste is a mistery:you don't know what they put inside, because all
is mushed! Better if (as someone said) you mush yourself your oil anchovies.
If they are so salty, put them under milk for some hours (then throw away
the milk): you will see that much of the salt goes away with milk.
