Anchovies

Mazzero's an Italian deli in St Pete has what they call 'White Anchovies'
They make the canned ones unbearable in comparison.
Filets in olive oil and lemon nice and light.

My grandfather loved anchovies. He liked them on anything. I, however, have a pizza with anchovies once a year just to remind me that I don't like them.
 
I'd open that 24oz tin and split it up into a dozen 2oz. servings, ziplocked and frozen. I put anchovy into salad dressing and virtually every red meat stew and red sauce variation I make. Just a bit adds so much flavor and you'd never know any fish at all was in the recipe. It's the secret umami ingredient.
 
Put a box of linguini on to boil. In a small pot, heat about a cup of virgin olive oil until it 'ripples'. Add 7-10 cloves of finely minced garlic, and one regular tin of mushed up anchovies. Add a ladle full of starchy pasta water and stir. Drain the linguini and toss with the olive oil mixture. Add red pepper flakes and copious amounts of parmesean reggiano. Serve with cold beer, preferably real late at night after the card game.
