Eels from Comacchio are very appreciated here. But they can't be eaten during summer, unless they are pickled. The right period to taste them stretches from late autumn up to late winter, when they are served both grilled or cooked with laurel leaves which give them a delicious, hearty flavour.

Not to be missed are the eel-soup prepared in Comacchio and surroundings, eel risotto and eels and cabbage. “La Bottega” di Comacchio, situated in Via Pescheria, sells traditional specialities from Comacchio and the Po Delta, including marinated eels, which were made famous all over Italy by  “La donna del fiume” (The Woman of the River), a film dated 1995 where Sofia Loren played the role of an employee from Comacchio.

Eels are still packed in the same way, inside tin boxes or the traditional “zangolino”, a wooden oval crate. The little workshop also offers freshly made sandwiches from Ferrara stuffed with fresh eels.

Not to be missed are cold pork meat and salami, “casetto” (a local pecorino cheese), acquadelle (marinated and fried fish) and Fortana wine from Bosco Eliceo. The workshop is open on Sunday too.
