What it is

Fermented anchovies are small, oily fish that have been preserved through a process of salting and aging. This process breaks down the fish proteins, creating a savory, umami-rich liquid or paste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fermented anchovies as a potent source of savory flavor, often referred to as umami. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, sauces, marinades, and frozen meals, particularly those with Asian or Pacific Rim flavor profiles.

Health notes

Fermented anchovies are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a natural source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fish products, but specific evaluations for fermented anchovy products are not widely published. Due to their high sodium content, moderation is advised for individuals monitoring their salt intake.

Allergen info

Fermented anchovies are derived from fish, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless added during processing.
