On Tuesday and Friday mornings a family of fisherman come to our town from the coast. They set up a stand in a former cellar under Piazza Padella and we line up to buy freshly caught dentice, spigola and delicate calamari, mussels from Sardegna and vongole from Orbetello.
The best are the prawns, that we skewer, douse with fresh olive oil, chopped parsley and garlic, then roast over the coals of our kitchen fire.
Heaven. If life has a meaning, the taste of those prawns paired with a bottle of Ansonica from the Island of Giglio, might just be it.
My mouth is watering! I'm delighted to have found your blog (via Mary Jane Cryan), and must also mention that I so enjoyed A Vineyard in Tuscany. Favolosa!
