– It isn't as if the food and the fish are two different things. I am amenable to other suggestions. --Relisted. &mdash;innotata 04:40, 30 September 2014 (UTC) Srnec (talk) 22:36, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Anchovy (food) → Anchovies as food
 * Sardine (food) → Sardines as food
 * Support in principle But why pluralize? Timmyshin (talk) 11:33, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It is sold under plural titles such as "Anchovies" or "Anchovy fillets" Gregkaye  ✍ ♪  09:05, 30 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Weakly oppose -- Pages such as Chicken (food) and Fish (food) seem to use the parenthetical disambiguation -- while I don't disagree with the nomination in theory I think keeping a general pattern is important. Perhaps a larger discussion could be held at a more central location about which form is preferred.--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:34, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support: Fish (food) would be better as Fish as food along with all the other related fish as food articles. There are many related articles that can be found on the template. As the main contributor to these seafood articles I have always been in favour of this move, but have always been opposed, for no particular reason, by editors who don't contribute to these articles. --Epipelagic (talk) 05:43, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support as Epipelagic Gregkaye ✍ ♪  09:05, 30 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Support per WP:NATURAL and per typical disambiguation style. Wikipedia normally uses a parenthetical to disambiguate distinct entities that share the same name (e.g., dart (missile), Dart (comics) and Dart (surname), or tap (valve), tap (transformer) and Tap (film)).  However, this is not the case here.  Anchovies as food is a subset of anchovy, not a different meaning of the word.  You can also assume my support of any other similar moves.  —  AjaxSmack   01:31, 3 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Support to use natural titles. If other pages have the same problem, move them. &mdash;innotata 06:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Cut bait
Fishermen use anchovies as fish bait for larger fish, such as tuna and sea bass.

Is this needed in "anchovies as food" when there is already an "anchovy" article? &mdash; MaxEnt 06:27, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

As pizza topping
Hard to fathom that an entry about anchovies as food had no mention of them as a frequent--if often derided as an "acquired taste"--pizza topping, at least here in the USA and traditionally, if not so much of late anymore. I've corrected that omission. FLORIDA BRYAN 2600:1700:B9B0:4500:65DF:DD6F:A891:97D8 (talk) 08:45, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
