For people who haven't looked at a map in a while, let me refresh your memory. Italy is a peninsula, so fish is a big part of the culture. Yesterday, I cooked pranzo (lunch) for Zia and I, and went strait to the sea for the menu. The fish marked in town had some beautiful gamberi (shrimp), calamari, and persico, which is a type of white fish. After cleaning and copping the fish, I added it to some special type of meter long squash they have over here. I added some tomato paste and broth, which made a nice sauce for the little bit of pasta that I added. If you like fish, this was a dish for you.
