The elegant Tortang Anchovies (Dilis) of southeast Asian territory

Removing heads and innards of anchovies is the dish-saving method for Tortang Dilis that will truly take the bitter taste away from your hungry palates. Do not worry about the fish bones, they won't hurt your throat as long as anchovies are small.

Here, I paired it with slices of star apple to give it fresher bites after eating the fish mixture.
