The Comacchio Valleys are a paradise of water, made up of canals which are the destination of keen birdwatchers. But at the beginning of the twentieth century, this territory of lagoons and marshes was a hostile place where malaria reigned sovereign and men survived only due to their fishing and eel conservation and processing abilities. The eels became the symbol of Comacchio, and in the Delta Park, fishing is still carried out with the traditional lavoriero method, a sort of large arrow point on the surface of the water which blocks the exit mouths of the valleys. A couple of years ago, the ancient Manifattura dei Marinati was reopened, where the eels are cooked in the huge fireplaces, just like they were over a century ago.

During the spring they cook fresh eel's but for the rest of the year it is all pickled as shown by Sophia

Maybe go to pic of the week....Plus the obligatory hottie for Chris

steeley · Feb 28, 2013

Thank you for kind words .
I just need to build up the base of data and image's
instead of posting every day .
I hate to repeat things unless someone ask ,like to keep it fresh.
I will go back to the roots of Historical finds and the post from some items and catalog pages that were lost.
it just won't be everyday .

Cheers
Steeley

Way to go out with class steeley!
I'm going to try and keep this thread alive as much as possible. It won't be photo of the day, maybe of the week, or whenever I can get around to it.
I'll miss it steeley.
This has been a bright spot for me every day. Something that cheers me up, no matter what.
It's time for other KKF'ers to step up and keep this going!
Hot chix, knives and history.......
........it doesn't get any better.

I just 'discovered' this thread. Went through all 30 pages in one sitting. Wow Steeley! Standing ovation from me in appreciation! I can understand your pulling back to research and to keep the quality up but I have to say I can't wait to see more from you and from others as well. What a great idea! Thanks all!
