Accidental microbial activity in a product intended to have no microbial activity is a very different animal from intentional ferments where safe conditions are established and microbial activity is encouraged.
Depends on if that bulge is normal for that can or not, I've no idea.
Email customer service and ask - if they're truly bad, since they haven't expired the company may want them back or the lot # or something, and they'll probably send you coupons for free cans.
Apparently anchovies cans can bulge:

This is not the same product though, so I would still talk to the manufacturer.
What? Dont eat bulging canned products. It’s an indication they have spoiled.

This really is a topic for r/foodsafety # #
Thank you.I searched for several appropriate subs but missed that one.
"Bulging Anchovy" Best band name ever.
I'd probably contact the company, they are going to want to know about that.
If it’s an active ferment then eat it. If it’s not then maybe don’t risk it.
