Hello, i'm a new member of this forum. I'm from Calabria in the south of Italy and i'm very passioned for pizza and bread making with sourdough and... fish hunting and cooking. I joined the forum because the big fish in photo isn't a tuna but a wonderful Ricciola, "Seriola Dumerilii", a "Carangide", named in Italy "la regina del Mediterraneo", the queen of Mediterranean Sea and of South Atlantic for his delicious white fillets. I participated whith friends to capture it, cooked and eated with them near the Jonian sea and i love also the Red Tuna ( present in Italy but required very much for japanese market ). Regards Francesco ← Pitta, Thanks for the information and welcome to eGullet! What other fish do you catch? ← Hello, I’m a read only member of several international forums, and yes yes, i follow with particular interest the posts of Pizza Napoletana for his great competence and his generosities in communicating important information on the italian cooking tradition. Generally, I read only the posts for my too much bad English in order to actively participate and to write ( ten minutes for two rows of text, this post an half hour ). But the passion for communication is more of the shame... I hunted many years ago with my little boat customized for the “big game” :-), and with friends with the passion of fishing, “ricciole” ( greater amberjack ), “caponi” o “lampughe” ( small pompano dolphin ) , “tonnetti” ( bonito ), “cernie” ( grouper ), “spatole” or “pesci bandiera” or “pesci sciabola“ ( scabbard-fish) , “cocci” (crowner ), “scorfani” ( scorpion fish ), “merluzzetti”or “musdee” ( ling ), “sogliole” ( sole ), “rombi” ( brill ) and others. But I’m married now and with two sons, the little boat is too much expensive in time and money for my family life. I fish now from the beach and very rarely, “spigole” ( european sea bass ), “mormore” or “gaiole” ( striped seabream ), “triglie” ( mullet ), “saraghi” ( white seabream ) , “lecce” ( leerfish ), “orate” ( gilthead bream ) with the road “all’inglese” ( match style )...in wonderful Jonian Sea... Sorry for my bad english ( and thanks to Google translator :-) ). Regards and... ciao Francesco
