Ingredients:


3 quarts virgin olive oil

1 1/2 pounds fresh anchovies (or sardines or mackerel)

3 large eggs

3 cloves garlic -- very finely chopped

1/4 cup finely-chopped Italian parsley

4 cups fresh bread crumbs -- very finely chopped

1 teaspoon salt -- to taste

1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste

2 medium lemons -- in wedges
 

Preparation / Directions:


Heat oil to 375 degrees and maintain heat. Scale and gut anchovies, leaving heads and tails intact (or have your fish monger do this for you). In a large mixing bowl, mix eggs, garlic and parsley until well blended. Dip fish 3 or 4 at a time into egg mixture and then into bread crumbs. Shake well to remove excess egg-crumb coating and fry fish 3 to 4 at a time until crisp and golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Serve immediately with salt, pepper and lemon wedges. Source: MEDITERRANEAN MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # ME-1A04)
