Defraud, in the very meaning , not! But, as you know, just to make an
example, if you go to the butcher and ask for some minced meat, it's better
you first buy (choose) the pieces of meat and then you ask the butcher to
mince it for you!.
On the other hand, if you go to the butcher and choose a pre-minced meat ,
it's easy that butcher has put inside much more fat or "bad" meat you don't
want: in this way, he thinks, the buyer doesn't look!!!
The same is for anchovy paste: they can put inside other parts of anchovy
that you would generally trow away, such as anchovies head, etc...

There are many and many anchovies brand...
everytime I go to the supermarket I see a different brand. So I can't
recoomend one particular.

But I speak seriously! Try to put them in milk and treat them like were
bloaters.
Don't you eat bloaters? You know that bloaters are very salted, so you must
keep in milk for some hours!
