Fried paranza

Fritto di paranza is a typical San Benedetto del Tronto dish of Italian seafood cuisine, particularly popular along the Adriatic coast. It consists of a selection of small fish, such as mullet, squid, shrimp and sardines, dipped in a light batter and then fried in hot oil until crispy golden. The result is a mix of flavors of the sea, enriched by the freshness and delicacy of the fish used. Served hot, fritto di paranza is often accompanied by lemon slices and can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course, representing an excellent expression of the culinary tradition of Italian coastal locations.
