Gastronomy
This fish is appreciated in Spain as part of the Andalusian, Catalan and Valencian cuisines,[2] and in Italy as part of the Italian cuisine.[3] In Andalusia where they are called chanquetes, they are traditionally served deep-fried, with fried eggs and roasted or fried bell pepper.[4] Due to their high price and to their now protected species status in Spain, they are often replaced by some species of East Asian noodlefishes, locally called chanquete chino (Chinese chanquete), Neosalanx tangkahkeii and Protosalanx.[5][6] This replacement is often done openly, but sometimes it is done fraudulently.[6]
