Magghia Masculina

← All products

Anchovies caught in the Gulf of Catania from April, taken with tratte drift nets in the dark just before dawn. The fish are caught by the head in the mesh, the maglie that give them their name, so they come aboard whole and undamaged. The technique has been used in the Mediterranean since Homer's time.
