while i was partially just being contrarian to @EdH's comment on sardines, anchovies to me have a little bit more versatility thanks to the couple of varieties I use regularly; from the oil/salt cured brown versions that are spot on for things like Caesar salad, pizza, puttanesca sauce, etc and also the white sardines (boquerones) that are much more similar to a standard sardine that can be used interchangeably with them, imo.

One of the best things I’ve ever cooked was Alton Brown’s recipe for Steak au Poivre. Incredibe

Yeah I used to use a riff on Brown's cast iron steak recipe that impersonates a salamander by having you get the cast iron really hot in a 500F oven and then using the broiler so that you have top and bottom heat. It is a very fast method to get a good crust, though these days I just do cast iron outside on the gas grill usually.
Based on the popularity of caesar salads, I think most people like anchovy flavor if it is at least melded in and balanced in a way that isn't too fishy for them. Anchovy paste is an underrated ingredient that can add value in unexpected places.
Me? Ooh baby I like it raw, but I didn't always and I understand when folks don't. But when there's an option to supplement a salad with them I take it, and I do enjoy things like boquerones & vermouth meal.

@mclaincausey Caesar salad should be bold! Like most Mexican food.
