Lavarelli in Carpione

When fishermen on Lake Garda catch large quantities of a fish called carpione they prolong its use by keeping it in a marinade of the same name. This marinade gives flavour to a rather delicate fish which can then be eaten as an antipasto.

You can marinate fish like eel, trout and other fresh water fish in carpione. It is ideal in summer when the sun is strong and one does not want to eat too much.
