In the charming village of Scilla in the channel of Messina, the fishermen make a living from fishing for swordfish, which, they claim, gather from all over the Mediterranean Sea to mate in the picturesque bay. The unfortunate ‘lovers’ are often caught in pairs, destined for the pots and pans of local restaurants. A tragic end to delight the palates of many.
