You get more ridiculous every day. Canned/bottled anchovies are
*not* fermented.

Maybe you need to post a reference to that claim...

.... Yeah, I didn't think so.

Go away.

Default Anchovies vs. Oyster sauce

I made something very similar recently, inspired by Lynne Rossetto
Kasper's syndicated column (The Splendid Table):

http://www.scrippsnews.com/node/44784

Both recipes could be considered as variations of Bagna Cauda, a
versatile dip or spread from the Italian Piedmont. The recipe quoted by
Kasper uses lemon juice instead of vinegar, and omits the carrot. We
made a dinner out of it, spreading the stuff on slices of crusty
baguette.

Cindy usually winces at the mere thought of anchovies, but she approved.
One reason is that I did not use the heavily salted canned anchovies
found in grocery stores. We were in The Spanish Table, a Seattle shop
that specializes in imported European foods, and we splurged on some
Spanish anchovies. These were in the refrigerator case, packed in a
plastic tray and a much lighter oil, and were almost white. The taste
was quite unlike the cheap ones: less salty, more delicate, sweet and
savory. Reminded me a bit of the high quality herring we encountered in
Holland. Great stuff if you can find it.

Default Anchovies vs. Oyster sauce

Anchovies are also a key ingredient in spaghetti puttanesca, my favorite
pasta dish. I've posted a good recipe for it in RFC. Google and ye
shall find.

I would not substitute oyster sauce in this recipe. But a lot of Asian
noodle dishes use oyster sauce, and those might be considered distant
cousins.

No, I wouldn't say they're interchangeable. IMHO, they have unique
flavors of their own...

One key difference that I forgot to mention: both of the cited recipes
are cold preps, while Bagna Cauda is usually served hot.

Someone who actually knows how to cook would ask what version of anchovy,
what version of oyster sauce, and most importantly what dish... but in a
general sense of course they're interchangeable, most condiments are
interchangeble, like how one can choose mayo or mustard for a ham sandwich,
in fact both can be used together.... like how anchovy or salmon cavier are
interchangeable on an egg salad sandwich, or both. Most ingredients of a
catagory are interchangeble like subbing orange marmalade for raspberry jam
on a chocolate torte. Cathy, you really need to experiment with cooking
something other than grilled shrimp... perhaps try your hand at tube steak,
don't laugh, there are myriad condiments that are interchangeble on tube
steak, and many/most all at once.

If you are ever in the mood for anchovies, and you want something
REALLY strong, this may hit the spot.

Fermented fish products. I've yet to try any but most likely have some

You don't drive. Austin traffic sucks and I'm reluctant to brave it more

Thanks.

I'm considering pureeing Anchovie in it's own canned sauce so I can
control it's addition to other flavors better.

Call me insane. It's ok. ;-)

Not really. They are two entirely different flavours.
Fish sauce and anchovies might be a *bit* more interchangeable although
they are different as well.

Put them on salad. or make Pasta alla Norma from last month's Cook's
Illustrated. Basically they mashed a couple of fillets and added them
to the red sauce to give it depth.

Wait a minute, I'm getting confused by your posts... what canned anchovy
sauce... I've never seen tinned anchovy packed in anything other than oil.
And salted anchovy are packed dry, in salt, typically sold in small glass
jars. Are you sure you are talking anchovy?

Not so sure. Our cats won't eat it; maybe they have a little

I see I mistyped, my bad... I meant to type *mantains*... I'm sure he
mantains you very well indeed! LOL

Actually you're close, no SPAM though... however Boar's Head olive loaf on
seeded rye with Land O Lakes yellow 'merican and Gulden's Spicy Brown. Ya
know, can I patent SPAM Olive Loaf... I bet it would go over big time... I'm
gonna try it with sliced pimento stuffed olives. I'd not be surprised if
some big muckity mucks from Hormel read rfc. Someone is gonna do a TV spot
with Speedo clad olives high diving from the rim of an olympic sized 2ni
glass into a gelatinous can of SPAM. You just watch and see, one day
they're gonna put my likeness on a box of Wheaties! hehe

And once in awhile, I actually _want_ something salty!

Given the choice, I think most people would prefer to see your likeness on
cartons of milk.

maybe someday his cats will post a poster with his photo on telephones, a
little flyer reading 'have you seen...' - just to throw the police off the
scent.

Austin traffic sucks at rush hours, like all cities. But it's just
fine most other times. Just steer clear of downtown when they have
any events.

I'll buy you a bus pass.

BTW: I was there at MT again yesterday. And today I'm making Bo
Kho again (not that I needed anything from MT to do that).
