REVISOR 1
The authors produced an interesting and useful paper.
In my opinion it well written and informative, and may be published as it is after correction 3 misspellings (lines 38 and 39 - italicize Anisakis; line 76 delete (?) n. before 39.
As suggested by revisor, Anisakis was corrected in italics (lines 38 and 39, page 2) and “n.” before 39 was deleted (line 76, page 2)
Reviewer 2 Report
The manuscript describes the presence of Anisakis spp. larvae in deboned anchovies and sardine fillets in oil marketed in the EU in order to assess the influence of processing techniques on the prevalence of larvae. The paper is very interesting and can be accepted with minor spelling revision.
