What Is Dried Milk Anchovy (Stolephorus commersonnii)?

Dried Milk Anchovy (Stolephorus commersonnii) is a small anchovy that is carefully cleaned and dried while retaining moderate moisture. Compared with heavily dried anchovies, its approximately 30% moisture level gives the fish a softer texture and helps preserve its mild, naturally savory flavor.

The name "Milk Anchovy" refers to the small size and pale appearance of the finished product. Because the fish can be cooked and eaten whole, it is commonly used in soups, broths, stir-fries, rice dishes, snacks and seafood seasoning products.

Its compact size and dried format also make it convenient for international distribution, especially in Asian and ethnic grocery markets.
