خطوة بخطوة

1. 1

   Rinse the cleaned anchovies under cold water and pat them very dry with paper towels.

   حوالي 3 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Ensure the fish are completely dry to achieve a crispier fry and prevent oil splattering.

2. 2

   In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Dredge each anchovy in the seasoned flour, ensuring it is lightly and evenly coated.

   حوالي 5 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Shake off any excess flour to avoid a thick, doughy coating.

4. 4

   Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F).

   حوالي 3 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy, or test by dropping a pinch of flour; it should sizzle immediately.

5. 5

   Carefully place the floured anchovies into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

   حوالي 1 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fish.

6. 6

   Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

   حوالي 4 د

7. 7

   Remove the fried anchovies with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
