Airdate: 2023-Oct-29

Episode summary:

Gino travels to the fortress port of Gallipoli; famous for its raw fish consumption. Originally founded by the Greeks, the name Gallipoli means "Beautiful City" in Greek and it is now considered the melting pot of Puglia, so-called due to the many nations who have invaded its walls over the centuries. In nearby San Cataldo, Gino meets Laura, a 'mermaid' hand diver who makes her living fishing for sea creatures, and together they share a fishy breakfast out at sea. At the Gallipoli fish market, Gino samples the unusual purple headed prawn, and discovers Scapece, a preserved fish dish steeped in history. Gino cooks tiella - the Italian answer to paella, with mussels, rice and potatoes before adding some unique touches to this Puglia staple.
