Anchovies in marinade are an affordable and healthy meal, particularly characteristic of Slovenian Istria and coastal towns. They are usually served as a cold appetizer, but with a piece of homemade bread, they become a satisfying dish. You can order them in local taverns or make them at home, as the preparation is quick and simple. You can also prepare them in advance, as the longer they marinate, the better they taste.
