For many Italians, summer "rhymes" with Paranza. It is a simple fry of assorted small fishes, squids, prawns, squids, eaten with a generous squeeze of lemon. Just the thought of it makes our mouths water.
Being a peninsula, Italy is surrounded by water. It has some major islands, too, such as Sardinia and Sicily. Italians love to eat meat, but they couldn’t live without seafood.
