The experience
A fishing hamlet with a view of the Egadi Islands, where fish reaches the table the same day it is caught: here cooking is still an everyday gesture tied to the sea, not a show for tourists. It is also the point where the countryside of Misiliscemi meets the sea again, between the Torre di Mezzo, the old watering trough and the sunset over the Egadi.
Town: Misiliscemi
Categories: Traditional Cuisine and Local Catch
A walk to Lido di Marausa and the sixteenth-century tower.
Lunch of fresh grilled fish in one of the restaurants on the seafront.
View of the Egadi archipelago, a few minutes by hydrofoil from Trapani.
A look at the old limestone watering trough and the Torre di Mezzo, also called the Torre dell’Alga Grossa.
A stop at sunset, when the sun goes down between the outlines of Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo.
Reach the coast in the late afternoon: sunset over the Egadi is the best moment to read the farmland and the seascape together.
Grilled fish and ricotta cassatedde. From the new story: fried red mullet and sardines or hand-rolled couscous, with fish broth and a chopped mix of red garlic and parsley.
