Sun Jul 16 17:17:42 -0700 2006 1747702 17947 lulusugarpop 1 1747802 I have seen them at the Spanish Table in Berkeley, the last time during Lent. twocents (formerly ericf) Sun Jul 16 17:59:46 -0700 2006 1747702 10406 twocents 2 1747995 Yeah, I've seen them at Spanish Table too. What part of the Bay Area is convenient to you? There is also a Spanish Table in Marin as well as Berkeley. I'm assuming you are looking for the canned version. http://www.spanishtable.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TST&Product_Code=4133698223&Category_Code=45877 Sun Jul 16 21:04:18 -0700 2006 1747802 10264 rworange 1 1747807 For fresh anchovies in SF, you might try the Ferry Plaza Market: San Francisco Fish Company and Ferry Plaza Seafood or the outside stand, Fresh Fish. Also maybe the Seafood Center on Clement. I've seen them sporadically at the fish markets on Stockton St. in Chinatown. Sun Jul 16 18:05:53 -0700 2006 1747702 10756 PBSF 1 1747859 The best place by far for Boquerones is Berkeley Bowl. They are in the refrigerator across from the fish counter. It is an Italian brand, the name of which escapes me. They are far cheaper than anywhere else. They are packed flat, two layers, in white plastic trays with clear plastic covering.

(Luca) I couldn't remember if they had them or not-I live in the Mission so that's the best bet... Sun Jul 16 21:15:22 -0700 2006 1747702 17947 lulusugarpop 2 1748011 they are not open today, however. Sun Jul 16 21:17:53 -0700 2006 1748007 19408 potatoe 1 1748081 Bi Rite also has them in the refrigerated section, as does Whole Foods. I suspect they're all the same provider (including Berkeley Bowl), because while the fish is decent quality, I don't like the marinade for any of them. The price seems to be the same too, about $6 for a small container. Sun Jul 16 22:22:36 -0700 2006 1747702 10966 Windy 2 1749469 I think the brand you're thinking of is Dinon, some of which I picked up at Berkeley Bowl once in a white tray for around $6. Unfortunately I too disliked the marinade. The best I've had around were at Dean & DeLuca, but the price per pound is astronimical. Mon Jul 17 18:55:41 -0700 2006 1748081 17221 SteveG 3 1749936 I've had the Dinon ones too (which I think are the ones Whole Foods sells), but the others I'm referring to are hand-packed plastic containers with lids. But maybe just repackaged? Mon Jul 17 21:21:08 -0700 2006 1749469 10966 Windy 1 1748285 Rockridge Market Hall has them -- not packaged in trays. I think they're fantastic... I'd be interested in knowing if they are the same supplier as Berkeley Bowl. Mon Jul 17 01:14:18 -0700 2006 1747702 13401 jmarek 1 1749944 I've never seen boquerones at the Ferry Plaza--not at either fish place--but if someone tells me when they're there, I'll jump all over that. Whole Foods on Franklin & California sells them in their cheese section, and they're delicious. Mon Jul 17 21:23:45 -0700 2006 1747702 16953 MuppetGrrl 1 1750752 Ratto's in Old Oakland also carries the trays of boquerones. They are very, very good. Ratto's is open every day but Sunday. Tue Jul 18 04:28:46 -0700 2006 1747702 11625 Gastronomie 1 2457453 This still seems to be one of those items you have to go to a restaurant to get really good ones. (Kinda like sashimi) B44 has them as very nice appetizers. Fri Apr 06 11:10:43 -0700 2007 1747702 61426 grocerytrekker
