Gurnard Fish in Crazy Water

Fish gurnard in crazy water, or I should say Red Gurnard. Its flesh is firm and very delicate, and given the size of the head, the amount to consume is always scarce. Italy, with miles and miles of coastline and numerous fish markets, is famous for the quality and variety of fish. Fishermen used to cook the catch on boats with white wine and seawater.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
