The best anchovies from Cantabria by caliber (summary): 1) Caliber 00 — the largest (8-9g fillet, 14-16cm), cured for 18-22 months, for toast with butter and a premium experience. Bacalalo's "00" Premium is the benchmark. 2) Caliber 0 — balanced (6-7g per fillet, 12-14cm), ideal for daily use and for gildas.
