Primal recipe: anchovy ceviche

I had a bag o frozen anchovies from a while ago in the freezer that I decided to use up. I made a delicious and healthy ceviche from them. SO TASTY. Read on:
Meet the little guys. They are about 5-6 in long. Beat up from freezing.
Clean fish by removing any scales and fins. Okay here is how to gut them: Grasp body right behind gills with left hand (or non-dominant hand). Grasp head by gills with right hand. Pull head down and out. The guts and spine should come right out. Sometimes you have to pick it apart though. Pic if youre interested:
General idea after gutting: fillets in left, guts and head on right.
After gutting, rinse fillets one last time.
