Anchovy toasts make a simple appetizer or lunch that’s rich in flavor. Anchovies are small, oily fish that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and minerals like selenium – a mineral that is remarkably good for hair, skin and nails. Sadly, anchovies are little-loved.

Serve with a what for a light lunch? Salad, I presume.
Unlike you, I think, I love liver. Anchovies, not so much.
Or at all.
But I might give this one a try.
