Gallipoli Fish Soup

You could say, ‘In every port, a new fish soup,’ because there are as many versions of this soup in Italy as there are ports or coastal towns. The idea is to collect all the wonderful juices and flavours of Mediterranean fish in one pot. The fish, especially around Gallipoli, Taranto and Brindisi, are so flavoursome that there is no need to make a fish stock beforehand - they are simply added to the pot whole. Coping with all the bones may seem a little fiddly but it’s worth taking the time
