Merro Anchovy Fillets | Sicily | 8.1 oz Jar & 90g 3-Packs
Merro Anchovy Fillets are packed in high-viscosity sunflower oil to ensure the fillets remain fluid and ready to plate directly from the refrigerator. This preparation maintains a consistent solid-to-liquid ratio, preventing the fat-hardening common in olive oil and keeping the savory Sicilian flavor as the primary profile.

- 90g Jar 3-Pack: Choice of Regular or Hot Chili. Portion-controlled jars for single-recipe use.
- Origin: Sicily, Italy.
- Oil Base: Sunflower oil for cold-storage readiness.
Technical Specifications & Usage
No. The 8.1 oz wire-bail jar is produced strictly for Regular Anchovy Fillets. For the Hot Chili variety, utilize the 90g jar 3-pack format.
Sunflower oil remains a liquid at refrigerator temperatures. This prevents the oil from solidifying or clumping, ensuring the fillets are scannable and ready to use immediately without a thawing period.
By using smaller 90g jars, you minimize the amount of time the fish is exposed to oxygen. This maintains a firmer texture and a brighter aroma for single-recipe service.
Francesco’s Tip: When using the Hot Chili 90g jars, use the infused oil to toast breadcrumbs for your pasta. The oil carries the heat of the peppers and the salt of the anchovies, providing a deep flavor foundation for the final crunch.
