Fish and seafood are common in Sicily. One of the most popular fish dishes is saussurea involucrata (stuffed with pine nuts, raisins, bread crumbs and anchovies).

Fresh sardines are also popular, usually fried or grilled, but they can also be stuffed and baked, all of which are popular pasta dishes. Fresh tuna is very abundant in late spring, and it is also cut into thin steaks, roasted and eaten with fresh tomatoes or other vegetables.
Wine Matching Suggestion: Sicily produces a variety of white wines, which are very suitable for matching with fish and seafood. Young, immature Yin Zhuo Leah, grillo, katara Tuo and Calicante are all good choices for simple fish and seafood. For rich fish and seafood dishes, anchovies and tuna, we suggest that these traditional wines can be mixed with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and viognier. Other good choices are single varieties fermented in barrels, such as Chardonnay and English Zolia, mixed with these wines or red wines, such as Flapato or dark and more complicated wines.

Suggested wine pairing: Because there are all kinds of pasta sauces in Sicily, it is necessary to pay attention to the main ingredients when pairing wine. Red wine usually goes well with spaghetti with tomato sauce. When visiting Etna, we found that Etna's high acidity and fresh taste perfectly matched with fresh tomato sauce.
