Anchovy essence is a brown or pink, thick, oily sauce, consisting of pounded anchovies, spices such as black pepper or cayenne pepper, and sometimes wine.[1] It is used as a flavoring for soups, sauces, and other dishes since at least the 19th century.[2] It has been called a British equivalent of Asian fish sauce.[3]
