The Adriatic Sea is one of the richest in fish, history and culture and the sailors who navigated it knew how to make the best of the opportunities hidden in its depths. It is no coincidence therefore that fish is the dominant element in the Province’s food traditions and that hundreds of restaurants serve it up in an infinite number of ways. Fish soups, succulent seafood (predominantly cockles and mussels, but also sea snails and ‘garagoi’), cuttlefish and squid, cod and mackerel, Adriatic sole and mantis shrimp, pan-fried, grilled, baked, in pastry and even salted fish: there are so many specialities, all well worth trying.
