Location: Naples — Mount Vesuvius
Naples sits on a bay watched over by Mount Vesuvius, and the fishing tradition here runs as deep as the volcano’s shadow — boats out before dawn, catch on the table by lunch.
These four dishes lean on that same directness: butter, garlic, lemon, a bit of heat, and seafood that doesn’t need much else. Simple technique, minimal ingredients, and a short ingredient list that lets the fish or shellfish stay the point of the plate.
