Sgombri al Finocchiello

Le Marche is a coastal region and fish plays an important part of the daily diet in the towns and villages that dot the shoreline. Fishermen and their families generally eat their smaller catch, often salted to preserve it for longer, and sell the larger and more profitable fish. Although mackerel isn’t considered to be a much sought-after fish, it tastes superb when cooked with care and with some thoughtfully chosen ingredients, such as fennel.
