What exactly is a anchovy

 It has a long snout and a very large mouth. The anchovy lives in salt water, and is very rarely found in fresh water. Fishermen catch ancho- vies in the Mediterranean Sea and along the Atlantic coast near Spain, Portugal, and France. Most anchovy fishing is done at night. The fish are attracted by lights on the boats, and are hauled in by the thousands in nets. The fishermen clean and salt the fish. Anchovies are good in salads, mixed with eggs, and as appetisers before dinner, but they have a very salty taste and one cannot eat too many at one time.
