FRUTTI DE MARE
These Italian seafood recipes are not great. They are the greatest. Even though my favorite seafood is shellfish, I still find time to prepare a few different fish recipes for the family.
Italy is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea where there is an abundance of fresh fish. (I know you know that.) The huge amount of Italian seafood recipes could easily fill another site.
Seafood is a very important part of Italian cooking. If you grew up in an Italian home, you ate some type of fish. If you didn't you had to move out. That's just the way it is.
I remember when I was very young and my Uncle Benny always called me a baccala when I did something wrong. It took me many years to find out he was calling me a cod fish.
Anyway, back to the food. I'll be including only the best recipes I could find using only the freshest ingredients. Fresh seafood is the key to the best tasting Italian meals.
After trying these recipes you'll be rowing a gondola in Venice. Or at least playing bacce ball at the park.
OK, let's cook.
