Pesceuovo Fishegg

I have a funny story today.

The story of the Pesceuovo or Fishegg.

This recipe originated from the Sicilian east coast, where I was born and grew up.

The legend says that when the sicilian fishermen came back from fishing without any catch, they used to say to their wives: Stasera Pesceuovo! (this evening, Fish-egg ! Meaning: eggs as fish)!

I like it so much, it is like an omelette with the shape of fish.

Here follow the recipe.

You can find the video recipe in my Instagram page, my profile, highlights or in my Youtube channel.
