--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      quarts        virgin olive oil
   1 1/2  pounds        fresh anchovies
                        (or sardines or mackerel)
   3                    eggs
   3                    garlic cloves -- very finely chopped
     1/4  cup           finely-chopped Italian parsley
   4      cups          fresh bread crumbs -- very finely chopped
                        salt -- to taste
                        freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
   2                    lemons -- in wedges

Preparation:

Heat oil to 375 degrees and maintain heat. Scale and gut anchovies, leaving heads and tails intact (or have your fish monger do this for you). In a large mixing bowl, mix eggs, garlic and parsley until well blended. Dip fish 3 or 4 at a time into egg mixture and then into bread crumbs. Shake well to remove excess egg-crumb coating and fry fish 3 to 4 at a time until crisp and golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Serve immediately with salt, pepper and lemon wedges. Source: MEDITERRANEAN MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # ME-1A04)
