Desalinate anchovies fillets:

Canned anchovy fillet can be very salt. To get rid of most of the salty taste: rinse well with running tap water and soak in milk for at least 20 minutes.

Still to salty?? Take some new milk and soak again for 20-30 minutes.

Make delicious anchovy butter:

Crush some anchovy fillets well in a pestle and mix at flavour with butter.
