They're like Bacon of the Sea= salty, oily, slightly crunchy, with just a hint or smokiness and sweetnes. Think of them that way. Bacon (turf) still rules, but the guppies (surf) ain't far behind

not crap at all. they're amazing on pizza and used in way too many good sauces, garnishes and soups. i love the ones you get deli's too when they're marinaded in oil garlic and yes. they make me fucking stiff.anchovies. small kings of the sea.

Stop eating the bait.

Such experiences I missed, clearly.
