Dried Small Fish - Traditional Snack & Culinary Ingredient #3649107 (License: Personal Use)

These are whole, air- or sun-dried small fish-commonly anchovies or sardines-preserved without refrigeration. Their golden-brown skin and intact eyes indicate proper drying; they’re often lightly salted and used to add savory depth to broths, stir-fries, or eaten as a crunchy snack. The texture ranges from firm to brittle depending on moisture content.
