Fish in Italian Cuisine

As you may already know, fish is a big part of most Mediterranean diets. In Italy, diet is determined by region – with each area cooking with what is locally available to them. Fish is better enjoyed and more popular in certain places, for this reason. Sorrento for example, is a great place to enjoy seafood recipes, where restaurants serve locally-sourced fish, using recipes that date back generations.

SUSTAINABLY SOURCING FISH

Over the years, fish dishes have become more popular, seeing the demand increase significantly. This has of course caused problems to our oceans. With mass and illegal fishing occurring, our sea-life is dying. Sustainably sourcing our fish is of upmost importance at Cucina Rustica and we wouldn’t have it any other way. This means we can rest easy knowing where our produce came from and how it was caught. We therefore serve top-quality dishes that boast with great flavour.
