I am originally from Yankee land and now live in Houston. As far as I am concerned, if you are out of anchovies, you are out of Pizza! I like a little pizza with my anchovies. Here in the South, they look at you like you are crazy for wanting anchovies with your pizza. Also, I love them on Greek Salads.

I was very frustrated trying to buy anchovies in this part of the country until I realized I could buy them from [...] by the case. Crown Prince Flat Anchovies are a first class product and I could not ask for better anchovies. I happen to like them packed in Olive Oil as crown Prince packs them and their 2 ounce cans are a perfect size. I just take one of the tins out of the pantry when I need anchovies.

After ordering my first case of crown Prince Anchovies, they arrived in a timely fashion, free freight and the tins were in perfect condition. From now on I will be a steady buyer of these great tasting and well packed anchovies. I could not ask for a better product.

For those of us who appreciate the much maligned anchovy, this is the way to go. A whole case to use as we please! The quality and price is a bonus. Of course, for the true afficionado, other more upscale "models" are available but for everyday use in sauces and salads, these are excellent.

I thought it was a pretty good deal but I was not used to eating anchovies with so many bones and such a flabby texture (I prefer firmer). You can find way better and cheaper at Treader Joe's without having to buy 25 packs.

In Montana finding anchovies is always a search. I cannot believe how much better these are than anything I have bought in town.

Meaning just average at best. Cheap, though. Helped in a few pizzas but far from the true delight of the best type of anchovies. But hey, what did I expect? I read some other reviews praising these anchovies and since the price was very nice and the amount 25 cans I bought it. That is how much I do like anchovies but there are much tastier anchovies out there. I know it and now all I have to do is finish this shipment and pay more money If I want the best, not a whole lot more, really. 3 Stars at the most.

When it comes to anchovies, it is worth the few extra cents to buy Crown Prince. They are consistently dependable in flavor and never mushy.
Buying them by case at Amazon saves frustration at the store when they are out of stock and only carry an inferior brand. Crown Prince delivers to even the pickiest anchovite and Amazon delivers in product, price and service.

Excellent value. Considerly less costly than purchasing the item in a grocery store. If you eat or cook with a lot of anchovies this is definitely the way to buy.

you'll need this huge case of them. They do disappear surprisingly quickly.
