€8-€20Swordfish Preserves from the Strait in Messina
Swordfish preserves from the Strait of Messina are gastronomic preparations made from one of the symbolic fish of the city. The swordfish is typically cooked and preserved in olive oil, sometimes with simple aromatics such as bay leaf, pepper, or lemon, to preserve its intense flavor and firm texture. They are found in jars or tins produced by small local companies or Sicilian delicatessens. The result is a ready-to-eat product that immediately evokes the scents of the sea of the Strait.
