Notes

As a peninsula, fish naturally makes up a substantial part of the Italian diet.  An ancient method of preserving fish survives in the form of baccala (dried cod) used to make a variety of dishes including pezzetti (fish sticks).  From Sephardic immigrants, Italkim learned of pesce fritto (fried fish) and pesce marinato (marinated fried fish). This version of ceviche (marinated fish) is traditionally served as an appetizer on Sabato (Shabbat) in Italian homes.  Use salmon for an untraditional touch.
