How long does anchovy last?
Anchovies are a type of salted and pickled fish, and how long they last depends on how they’ve been stored. If anchovies are preserved in olive oil or other oil and have been stored in an airtight container in the fridge, they should last up to a year. If anchovies are in a jar or another container with a tightly sealed lid, they should last a year or longer. However, it’s always best to check the best-before date before using anchovies, and if there are any signs of it losing its quality, such as a strong fishy smell or appearance of mold, it should not be used. It’s also important to note that opened anchovies should be used within a couple of weeks and stored in the fridge.
