Fresh Anchovies

Mention anchovies to me and I cringe.  In a salad or on a pizza, no way!!  But on a recent trip to Italy a friend convinced me to try fresh, marinated anchovies.  I wasn't sure but agreed to be brave and give it a try.  Boy, was I surprised.  They tasted nothing like their canned cousins.  Marinated in olive oil, lemon juice and dressed with herbs they were good.  I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
