Netholi Fry (Spicy Fried Anchovy)
While initially hesitant to try it, I began to relish the flavor after having one or two pieces. It had the reminiscent taste of a fried snack, boasting a crunchy texture and a delightful spicy flavor. I thought it was more suitable as munchies rather than a traditional fish fry 😉
