Anchovies are small fish. The figures here describe anchovies canned in oil and drained before eating. They mainly provide protein and fat, with notable amounts of calcium and salt. Per 100g, they contain 25g of protein, 10g of fat, 300mg of calcium and 15g of salt.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. These anchovies have a high salt content, which is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. The amount eaten will affect how much salt they contribute to a meal.
