Also, check the tin to see if there isn't a "use by" date somewhere on it. There should be, although those dates are sometimes in obscure places. Anchovies should last forever, but in real life nothing ever does!
But keep the can well covered in your refrigerator. Anchovies are delicious but you don't necessarily want their flavor to invade your butter or other sensitive ingredients in the fridge.

Per June's advice they will probably last longer than you will. However once the can is opened you should cover the top surface with more coarse salt and then refrigerate. Maybe cut out a circle of parchment or foil that fits the can and press that down on top.
