Step:

  1. Clean the anchovies by removing the innards, cut off the head and remove the spine.

  3. Wrap it in a bag (I use a second one as well) to avoid any smells and leakage and place it in the fridge for 24 hours. If you notice it leaking too much into the bag, you can remove the excess liquids.
