€8-€20Conserve di pesce spada dello Stretto in Messina
Swordfish preserves from the Stretto di Messina are gastronomic preparations made from one of the fish that symbolizes the city. The swordfish is generally cooked and preserved in olive oil, sometimes with simple aromatics such as bay leaf, pepper, or lemon, to maintain its intense flavor and firm texture. They are sold in jars or tins produced by small local companies or Sicilian delicatessens. The result is a ready‑to‑enjoy product that immediately evokes the aromas of the sea of the Stretto.
