Fresh Fish

The fish we ate all tasted fabulously fresh; we knew it was coming in on little day boats in the Mediterranean.
Sardines in many forms are the signature dish of Sicilian cooking -- and can't be duplicted outside of Sicily. I especially liked these sardine balls: ground fish balls in tomato sauce.



Swordfish, snapper, and many other fish both large and small appeared on the hotel buffet, but I was always too immersed in enjoying my meal to photograph them. These photos all are from the restaurants in Palermo.
