“Bertagnì” – Dried and Salted Cod, Fried

This is a typical street food that you can still find mostly at the weekly markets in the villages/towns between the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia. Basically it’s not much different than the fish in many others “fish & chips” but since it’s typical of my area of origin I would like to show it, and…

Tonno e Piselli – Tuna and Peas

Today I’m showing a very easy and simple recipe, but which is very good 🙂 It’s not something you are going to find in restaurants, it’s just an easy food to prepare during a week day. My mom used to prepare this dish to me quite often for lunch when I came back from school…

Linguine with Pike

As I already wrote previously, the Northern Pike is a very good fish, but if usually most of the recipes prepare it as a second course/main course, I have to say that it’s possible to prepare some great pasta recipes too, as I’m going to show you now 🙂 And I have to say that…

Mediterranean Seabass Fillet with Olives and Pine Nuts

The Seabass is one of the most appreciated fish, and there are reasons why 😀 It’s very tasty, its flesh is firm and the fillet is boneless, it’s perfect for everyone 🙂 This is a very easy and fast recipe, so we can do it whenever we want! All we need are few ingredients: the…

Baked Zander/Walleye with Walnuts Crust

I use to cook the fillet of the Zander in the pan, but this is a recipe that sometimes I like to do and in this case the fillet is going to be baked. It’s more common to see recipes of fish with toasted almonds, but also walnuts sometimes can be an interesting choice. It’s…

Easy Autumn Grill :) Grilled Zander/Walleye

Yesterday evening the fisherman brought us an amazing 3 kg Zander from the Balaton lake…I already shared some recipes with this fish (HERE), but since the weather is still sunny I soon thought “that’s a perfect fish to grill tomorrow” 🙂 and I was definitely right 😛 one of the most simple ways to prepare food,…

Polpette di Luccio (Pike Fishballs)

With our great happiness, the fisherman had a nice pike to give us…I already wrote not long ago the recipe “Luccio alla Mantovana/Pike at the Mantua way“, instead today I decided to do this tasty recipe 🙂 This recipe can be either a nice appetizer (for example it can be perfect next to an “aperitivo“, during the “happy…

Pasta with European Pilchards (Sardines)

During the last week we’ve been in Spain, exactly in Oviedo (a very beautiful city which I advise to visit), and I have to say that in the local fish markets I found a lot of beautiful fish. So, during one of those days, me and my wife we decided to go at the main…

Luccio alla mantovana (Pike at the Mantua way)

Previously I suggested recipes with European Perch, Zander and Walleye…now it’s the time of the Pike, probably the fish with the best tasting flesh in my opinion (if properly cooked), between the freshwater fish. Not many people know it, or at least not many people know how to cook it, probably the fact that it…

Pasta with Zander “ragù” (or other fish too)

As I already said, the fisherman is bringing us a lot of fish in this period 😀 not a problem, eh 😀 so here it is another recipe with zander. This is a quite simple recipe, and the final result is very good, and moreover it’s a different and tasty way to prepare this fish (or…
