I am trying to find canned anchovies for making my world class spaghetti with Putenesca Sauce. I am talking about flat fillets, usually sold in the states in a rectangular tin, packed in Olive Oil. I have looked all over and asked many locals, but to no avail. If anybody has any ideas, I would be very grateful. I googled anchovies in Thailand, but all I got was a wealth of information and statistics on the dried anchovy market. Barring that, perhaps on of you connoisseurs might suggest a substitution. Perhaps Fish Sauce, since it is made from anchovies. But I really want to stick with the original recipe as much as possible. Thanks much for any info.

Jimbo, I have the same problem and have been unable to find them in los, so i stock up every time i come back.
Unfortunately the tw family love them so at the mo I am cleaned out and I am not back until may.
You can pick them up at some airports especially LHR in the harrods outlet they are in oil and have also seen them in Dubai.
If you are stuck I will bring some extra out.

i buy them in Nong khai at the thai laos border. you can find there a lot of foreing food like parmesan cheese etc.

Villa Supermarkets in Soi 11 and 33 Sukhumvitt - Bangkok have them

order an XL pizza with anchovies from pizza company at the complex
here in udon, when you get your order - pick off the anchovies for your
own use then eat the remaining pizza so nothing is wasted.
(or you could ask them if they've got any spare anchovies whilst waving
100baht)

If you find some let us know how much they cost, here in Oz there charging $4.65 for a Jar with 100grams in it. Its highway robbery
