This is one of my favorite snack. Spicy dilis or anchovies. They are crunchy. I love eating the whole little fish. It's colored with red orange food color and coated with cornstarch, sugar and some chilli. Is this popular in your place?

the fishes look very familiar and though we deep fry we don't add the colour.

I don't know the reason but I usually see the colored when I buy them. When I made some homemade dilis I don't add color

@averygirl72 Mostly we just have them on pizzas so maybe they have sauce or something on them to make them dark.

I used to like dry fish fried that way in the good old days. But now I avoid too much salt as far as possible

Just the other week I was eating sweet anchovies sold by the vendor roaming around in our village. I really love the taste of this fried sweet fish.
