Anchovy belongs to the type of fish that resist from damage (decay). When it is left open for a long time, it will experience a change due to the physical, chemical, and microbiological influences. This is the reason why anchovy that have been captured need to be further processed, one of which is preserving them. One way of preserving such fish is by salting them.
