best fish comes from the sea and the best meat
comes from the mountains.
You only have to look at the number of fish speciality restaurants that line the coastal roads of
any seaside town to know that most people go to the "spiaggia" or beach when they want to eat fish.
Well the mountains do contain numerous "lagos" or lakes and streams that have a very bountiful supply of fresh fish. As you can see from the picture. These "trota" were caught on Friday by me at a local river. Mainly due in part the the very poor weather we have been having recently.
Fishing here in Italy is quite popular and its free for sea fishing and not that expensive to fish the local rivers. You can see why when the fish is this good.
Its also been a tradition still kept today in many parts of Italy that Fridays you always eat fish.
Here what I did with the the trout and tasted delicious.
Take the four trout, gut and clean well.
Then place each trout onto its own piece of aluminum foil.
Dress each with fresh rosemary and a few pieces of garlic.
Wrap a good length of "pancetta affumicato" or smoked bacon round each one.
Lightly salt and pepper, then add long the length a few good drops of olive oil.
Close each of the foil wraps well and place onto a oven tray.
Put into the oven at 180 for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Mouth watering.
