Small fish



In the small Rovinj fish market, a lady sells fish caught by her husband in the early morning. I like to go to her table as the fish are always fresh. For those she is unable to sell in the market, she will sell to restaurants at a lower price.

Sometimes there are only small size fish, this silver bream is very good when baked, waxy juicy flesh. 

red sea bream


This red bream is not as good when baked, very dry meat. She said it eats shrimps and better in soup, so together with this small triglia, also eat shrimps, I made a simple fish soup.

Boil ginger, spring onion and carrot for 15 minutes, add fish, simmer gently for 30 minutes, season with salt and pepper.

She is right, soup is indeed tasty, both fish also able to stay whole without breaking up, but the meat is dry and hard.
