Rinse well and place them in a colander to drain completely. Season evenly with salt, tossing in the colander so it spreads everywhere. Place the flour in a bowl and add the anchovies in batches. Shake well to coat them thoroughly, then transfer to a colander and shake off any excess flour. Alternatively, place them in a food-safe bag with the flour, shake to coat, then remove and shake off the excess before frying. In a deep skillet, heat oil to a depth of about 2 centimeters until hot. Carefully add a few pieces at a time and reduce the heat slightly. Do not stir often. Let them brown evenly for about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir only once or twice at most, to ensure crispness. When golden brown, remove with a slotted spoon and place on a tray lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Tips Fry in batches for a crisp result.
