In breve

The dish in short

  • At least thirteen kinds of Adriatic fish, cuttlefish, squid and crustaceans, cleaned with their heads on; never clams or mussels.
  • Onion fried pale gold in plenty of olive oil, then a glass of vinegar, never wine, with parsley, garlic and tomato paste.
  • The fish go in by cooking time: cuttlefish and squid, then crustaceans in their shells, firm fish, and the delicate ones last.
  • About 20 minutes on a very gentle heat in a wide, shallow pan that is never aluminium, then 15 minutes' rest, covered.
  • Served very hot in the pan it cooked in, with slices of stale country bread toasted and rubbed with garlic.
