I love it on crackers like a spread, but that's me.

I'll tell you this, though. A largish can, typically 13-14 oz, of anchovy fillets is MUCH less expensive than those small 1-2 oz. tubes of paste. Make your own, recipes abound and it's a cinch. You can easily make sardine paste too, if you fancy that.
Me? Anchovies? Fillets straight from the can with a cold beer are an excellent snack, so we're on the same page.
Anchovies on crackers? Nom nom ;-)
We spread anchovy pastse on toast and then top it with sauteed wild mushrooms, which have been seasoned with fresh thyme and chives. Finally sprinkle on a bit of grated cheese. Broil quickly to melt cheese and serve openfaced with knife and fork. Great for lunch with a salad!
