Swimming in Alici (Anchovies)
These babies are everywhere at the Rialto Fish Market. Young, succulent anchovies, called Alici (ah-LEE-chee) in Venice and Acciughe (ah-CHOO-gay) elsewhere, are a mainstay throughout the coastal regions of Italy. In Venice you’ll find them grilled; personally I like them flash fried in olive oil, like they make them in Genoa – fresh, crisply, salty little “fries with eyes” that you pop in your mouth, head and all.
