Do you want to desalt anchovies?

The simple and effective trick is to soak the anchovies in wine vinegar. Look :
How to do
1. Take the anchovies out of their box.
2. Run them under cold tap water.
3. Fill a small container with wine vinegar.
4. Put the anchovies in it.
5. Let them soak for 20 minutes.
Results
There you go, your anchovies are now desalted :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, isn't it?
No more overly salty anchovy fillets in your dishes!
Thanks to the wine vinegar, the excess salt is gone and they retain all their good taste.
Note that the longer you let the anchovies soak in the vinegar, the less salt they will taste.
You will now be able to put them in tapas, Niçoise salad or even small puff pastry for aperitifs and enjoy yourself!
Why does it work?
Vinegar is very sour. And this acidity will neutralize the taste of salt naturally.
Unlike water which removes salt from the surface of the anchovy, the vinegar will also act in the heart of the flesh of the anchovies.
In addition, it gives them a special flavor.
