do anchovies have scales or smooth skin?

i would really like to know if anchovies have scales or not.. any one?

They have scales like other fish. They are just really tiny scales.

Are anchovies and sardines the same thing?

Anchovies and sardines are related, but sardines are significantly larger.

Well, according to the dictionary [various ones say virtually same thing] the anchovy is small, herring-like marine fish [from Spanishanchova] where the sardine is small herring or similar fish canned in oil [from Greeksardinos]; as to taste - [various subjectively]; as to scales, these grow with the fish, therefore do not exist as such on these smaller fish - visible, but not scaly.

I was under the impression that anchovies were considered eels but I forget where I heard this. Can anyone verify one way or another?Ehrichweiss 20:39, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Look at an anchovy. Now look at an eel. That should answer your question. GeneCallahan(talk)09:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

trivia

In an episode of the cartoon series Futurama, anchovies are described as being extinct in the year 3000, with the exception of one single can. The oil of the anchovy is also described as being a "miracle oil" of sorts for robots.

This should probably be rewordered, "anchovies are described as being extinct in the year 3000, with the exception of one single can", my argument against this is that anchovies are extinct if none are living, a canned item is not an exception because they are dead.

Sun-dried Soup?

"In parts of Asia such as Korea and Japan anchovies are used to produce a rich soup similar to" Setipinna taty ". But before it's ready for such consumption it is sun-dried."
