I just bought an anchovy in the market. My husband said that this fish can eat fish scales. Can the fish scales be eaten?

    The scales of anchovies are edible, and the scales of anchovies contain certain lipids and umami ingredients. They can be directly steamed without removing the scales directly during cooking. Proper eating of some scales also has an anti-cancer effect .
