  • This soupy fish stew changes slightly has you travel the Adriatic coastline and there's a saying which says the dish has existed since fishermen were invented. Hardworking blokes on a boat aren't going to be reaching for a recipe book, so here is Claudio to share his approach to making this stew. Then Fulvia from Fano shares hers. Take your pick - both versions are delicious. And if there are folks who don't like the bones, still cook the whole fish and remove the bones before serving because they make the broth flavourful:
    For both recipes: 1 kilo of fish (mackerel, gurnard, dogfish, weever fish, red mullet, John Dory) plus an small octopus, large squid or cuttlefish (some kind of cephalopod), prawns (also mantis shrimp) for the Fano version.
    San Benedetto del Tronto recipe: 2 red peppers (they can also be green), 1 kilo of tomatoes, 1 cup of wine wine vinegar (be careful with vinegar, I find some have a too powerful flavour, so start with half the cup), 1 onion, a beer for the cook.
    Fano recipe: small onion, 1 garlic clove, 3 tablespoons tomato concentrate, 1 cup of white wine vinegar, some water if necessary, salt and black pepper.

    The cultural mix is unbelievable! I come from the greek island of Corfu which is the closest to Italy and it has been heavily influenced by the Venetian rule back in the days. We have a very similar dish called burdetto which is a fish stew made with a bigger fish(usually one variety)in a red sauce with a heavy amount of paprika(both sweet and spicy) and garlic but without tomatoes. I'd love to try the first recipe with the octopus. Lovely as usual! You should visit Corfu Vicky, to see all the lovely recipes and similarities with the Italian cuisine and the language too.

    This video stirred up memories of my late grandmother. Before she and my grandfather came to England from the Caribbean, they stayed in Venice and then travelled to Genoa. My grandfather said if it wasn't for the language barrier, they would have stayed because my grandmother loved the fish! also my nana remembered eating pasta for the first time, it was tagliatelle al burro, and whenever she cooked pasta, that was the only way she would eat it. Thank you Vicky for another fantastic video. It always make me feel I am watching my nana cook all over again.

    Living in UK with our weird relationship with fish, it seems only a few species are eaten and we (used to before Brexit) export the vast majority that was caught. It is interesting to see all the catch used, even living in a port city with a strong fishing heritage trying to get hold of some more esoteric species to cook is not easy.

    They both would be good but I would like Claudio's the best I think. His is more traditional and closer to what would have been made by the fishermen on the boats or at the pier. Fulvia's is more what the fisherman's wife would make since she had more supplies in her kitchen.

    I'd try both, its the perfect example of "rustic vs resturant" cooking. However, fish with bones scares me and I think I wouldn't know how to eat the first one properly and make a fool of myself/offend my hosts. I'd be worried too much and feel like a child. Do you sit there picking out the bones? Can you eat the bones? What are you even looking for? Oh geez lol

    • @richardb22
      @richardb22 Před 2 měsíci +4

      You have hands and fingers. It's messy but rewarding when you pop a bit in your mouth. Bones go in a separate plate for that purpose. This is not fast food . A bottle of red wine helps you through the lengthy eating process . 😄

      @@Roheryn100 I do overthink, yes, but not here. I am very aware of my limited experience with food and how to eat things like fish with bones and such, and its embarassing to not know what you're doing.
      To look uncertain with food is close to lookig like you dislike it, and I don't like offending people. I usually ask, but it kills the mood and you turn into "that person who doesn't know how to eat a basic dish because they come from a country/socioeconomic place that wasn't exposed to much so they never learned and now they look ignorant" and it bothers me.
      People forget what its like to not know basic things and be alien to a culture. Its uncomfortable and you're not always treated gently. I don't know, trauma I guess.

    I always order Linguini with Seafood from an Italian Restaurant my first time there. It's usually in a red sauce or a fish stock and wine sauce. I hate it when you get canned clams. The best was in this tiny restaurant in San Francisco, California.
    I always wanted to travel to Sicily to catch the beauty of the place, including the food.

  • @riverstun
    @riverstun Před měsícem

    I think both would be good, but I tend to cook more like the first; with whatever's available. Preferably garbage fish that would be thrown away otherwise. I think the touristy ones with shrimp, crab claws, scallops etc. are against the whole idea, which is to make something from nothing. As base, I like to include saffron, bay leaf, orange peel, and fennel (or pastis) and white wine (unoaked and sour, like a NZ Sauvignon Blanc or a dry riesling, alsace, etc.) with the tomato, onion, celery. Gone-off white wine sounds perfect.
    Obviously, the average home cook doesnt have access to "mixed catch of the day", but if you can get mussels or clams, mullet, mackerel, that would be great. The shellfish give brine, the sticky fish give body. Feel free to add black olives, capers, olive oil, fresh basil.

    I recreated the fano recipe with local fish and served it on pasta. I noticed the dish was VERY vinegary and am wondering if maybe either the vinegar thay i used is stronger than what was used here or maybe i shouldnt have served it on pasta. Would really appreciate any input anyone might have 😅. Thanks!

    • @pastagrannies
      @pastagrannies  Před měsícem +1

      Joe, use vinegars with caution as their acetic acid levels vary so much! I haven't made this dish yet, but I'd start with a tablespoon of white wine vinegar, make sure it has evaporated and then top up with white wine. Better to under-vinegar it and then next time one can gradually increase the quantities. As you've experienced, once a dish has too much vinegar it cannot be retrieved (unless someone knows different and I'd love to hear about it). I hope you have more success next time. best wishes, Vicky

      The second you said , you have to be very patient and you have to know that some species e.g. the red mullet are extremely difficult to remove the bones but are very tasty , most of the people not living near the maritime towns do not like fishes with bone and so not so many appreciate our brodetto , most of them go easy with tuna , swordfish , prawns , they don’t know how to eat real fishes 😊
