COOK ITALIA
The boats start coming in at breakfast time and within a couple of hours everything has been brought ashore and sold
Going on a road trip is something that just happens when an Italian living in the flat, hot, landlocked plains of Emilia gets a sudden craving for fish. It just takes one person to mention the idea on a Thursday night at the bar and, suddenly, you are in a car with three other people, speeding down the motorway to a port in Romagna at 4 o’clock in the morning. This particular occasion was not a first for me, and it won’t be the last. But there really must be an easier way to get a portion of fish. And why does it always entail a pre-dawn wake-up call?
