“What,” you may ask, “are boquerones?” The short answer is that they are white anchovies. But these mild Spanish fish are so different from the heavily brined version more familiar to Americans, that they deserve their own name. We use them here to flavor a lemony salad of Southern fall staples: field peas, snap beans, and radishes.
