What Can I Do with Leftover Anchovy Fillets

Use it as you would pesto, or other green sauces like gribiche or pistou – dolloped onto soup, with fish and roasted meat, to dress salads or spooned onto bread.

How long will anchovy fillets keep in the fridge?

Unopened canned or jarred anchovies have a shelf life of one year. Tightly sealed, opened cans or jars can be stored in the refrigerator for at least two months.

Can I freeze leftover anchovies in oil?

Yes, you can freeze anchovies. Anchovies can be frozen for around 3 months. You will often find that anchovies have been preserved in either oil or salt when they’re shop-bought. This method of preserving food long outdates refrigeration or freezing.
