Anchovies taste fishy and extremely salty. Many people don't like them by themselves, but they can be used effectively to add flavor. For instance, Caesar salad often contains anchovy paste.
Why not try them for yourself and see what you think? :)

Anchovies are a very strong flavored salty fish. And, I do mean salty.
I like them, but I sure wouldn't stuff a forkful in my mouth. Dh and I usually get anchovies on our pizza. I tell the waiter, easy on the anchovies. I sometimes use them as a seasoning when I make sour cream dips.
If you are curious about them, ask to taste an anchovy before you ruin a perfectly good pizza. There's no middle of the road with anchovies. It's a love them or hate them taste experience.

Everyone doesn't hate them.and a lot of people have eaten them and never knew it The tiny ones are usually either bottled in oil or salted & sometimes have capers added. They are salty and usually and the salted ones are usually rinsed before using them in cooking. In cooking you only use maybe two or three & don't really taste of fish but they sure add a depth of flavour to the sauce. The also come as a paste in a tube if you only want to add a little bit if you don't use them often and don't want to open a jar or tin.
Anchovies aren't always too tiny. Some are larger and are either sauteed or grilled then you know you are eating fish. (like sardines or herring).

I love anchovies. They add a saltiness to dishes. Obviously they taste fishy too. Their flavor can be tempered by soaking them in milk.

Salty, fishy - an acquired taste I guess. I like them in moderation. Too much is overpowering.

Anchovies have a strong fishy and salty taste.
Why does everyone hate them? Because they're little girls.
