Try "anchovy." Ansjovis refers to Engraulis encrasicolus, the European
anchovy, or more broadly any small similar looking fish.

Ah! I've seen some medieval recipes asking for fresh anchovies. The only way I've seen them around here has been in cans, usually packed in oil. I don't think these are cooked, but probably not close to what the medieval recipe had in mind.
So would other small, fresh (or frozen?) fish be a good substitute? what about herring?, as Ana mentions?
Thanks,
Stefan
