I´m told that this is bigger than an anchovie, but my references are pointing towards anchovie.

Can anyone tell me the difference?

Thanks

Gracias Rosa Maria por tu aporte
agree tazdog (X) : yes, FRESH anchovy...in the U.S., at least, if you say just "anchovy" most people think of the ones that go on pizzas ("anchoas" in Spain)

Thank you, Cindy!
neutral Bruon : Más exacto sería decir que los anglohablantes no acostumbran comerlo fresco sino sólo en salmuera, por tanto asocian anchovy a boquerón en salmuera. Lo mismo pasa en Francia, dónde a duras penas pueden imaginar que la anchoa ha tenido una vida de boquerón

Thanks Neil
agree Bruon : I would say plainly "anchovy". En efecto en España el boquerón en salmuera se llama anchoa.

anchovie

El Diccionario de la RAE diferencia boquerón y anchoa. Para la docta casa, el primero es el pez y la segunda el resultado de enlatar los boquerones o ponerlos en salazón

anchoa=anchovy, boquerón=boquerony ))-)))))º)

Para acabar con las incertidumbres, "anchovy" consta con el sentido de boquerón (fresco, vivito y coleando) en los diccionarios Webster, Oxford, AHD, Random House Webster's Dictionary, etc. y en FAO-Fishterm.
Cuando compro en Francia o Bélgica boquerones en vinagre no pone en el envase boqueron, bockerone ni boquerony, sino meramente anchovy.
No cabe la menor duda. Si alguien lo quiere llamar "boqueron" en inglés para dar un toque exótico es muy dueño, la poesía y su licencia es de todos. Ahora bien el boquerón se llama anchovy en inglés, lo mismo que se llama anchois en francés por mucho que algunos bares "de tapas" parisienses lo denominen boqueron para que duela menos el palo que te dan.

anchovies in vinegar

En la mayor parte de España, los boquerones son las anchoas frescas puestas a macerar en vinagre por un período entre 24 y 48 horas. Los filetes de anchoa en salazón (las "anchovies" anglosajonas) nunca se llamarían boquerones.

Son el mismo pescado, eso si, la diferencia de nombre está en la preparación, a no ser que se especifique "boquerones fritos", en cuyo caso serían anchoas frescas fritas :-)

marinated anchovy fillets / (fresh white) marinated anchovies

I have come across this problem before when translating menus. I agree that the boqueron is the fresh anchovy. The above are ways to translate this for a menu. Please see links.

All the tapas greats feature on the menu from boquerones (marinated anchovy fillets, £3.50) to tortilla Espanola (Spanish omelette, £3.95) and albondigas (meatballs in tomato sauce, £4.50).

Thinking to supplement our selection of a special with a restaurant standard, we chose a Caesar salad. The Navy Yard puts a twist on its version of this popular classic. Croutons were replaced by toasted baguette rounds, and the salad was adorned with white vinegar-marinated anchovy fillets, rather than incorporating an anchovy paste into the dressing.
