Can I Freeze Boquerones?

To freeze boquerones, simply put them in a plastic container and pop them in the freezer for 2 days, then take them out and defrost them in the fridge. Once they have defrosted, let them sit in iced water for about half an hour. Wash them until the water remains clean.

Wash and Clean Your Anchovies

Making boquerones takes a couple of days, so plan ahead. The great thing about them is that they're lightly cured so they stay in great shape for up to 30 days in the fridge.

Can you freeze fresh anchovies?

So long as the anchovies are topped with plenty of salt or oil, they can be stored in the fridge for several months. If preferred, you can freeze anchovies – lay them out individually on a baking parchment-lined tray and open freeze them. Once frozen, tip them into a freezer bag and return to the freezer.
