Let’s open a room dedicated to eels, those of Comacchio of course. You can have them in brine in summer in but the best period to enjoy Cormacchio’s eels stretches from the end of the autumn to the end of the winter, where you can eat them grilled or cooked with laurel leaves to give them a more delicious taste. The taste of the eels-soup is very special, a speciality prepared only in Comacchio and surroundings. You cannot miss the eel risotto or the eel cooked with cabbage. We suggest you to go to “La Bottega” of Comacchio in Via Pescheria where you can find all the specialities of Comacchio and Delta amongst which there is marinated eel, known in the whole of Italy thanks to the1955 film “La donna del fiume” (The Woman of the River) staring  Sofia Loren, a cook in a Comacchio factory. The eel is still packed in the same way as then, tins orinthe traditional “zangolino”, a wooden oval crate. In the little workshop you can eat a freshly made sandwich with eel and Ferrara bread. You cannot miss the seasoned meats with no preservatives, maybe not the prettiest thing in the world  but with a sublime taste and the “casetto” (a kind of goat cheese), the “acquadelle” cans, the marinated and fried little fish and the Fortana, the Eliseo Wood wine. The workshop is also open on Sunday.
