If you look at the map of Greece, you will see why fishing is an important part of Greek diet. For a small country, there are a lot of beach, why do they have a strong history of navigation. Eat seafood goes with it. Unfortunately the sea was once barren Aegean Sea due to overfishing and now so abundant in places, the bus speed has a population of sea food lovers, whose numbers swell during the tourist season can not keep up with the demand. Fish are very expensive, even if it is cheaper fish all year, and as delicious as these may be the most expensive.
Let us start at the bottom and fish to make our way into the series. The cheapest sardela (sardines), fish Gavras (anchovies), Kolios (mackerel), gopa (fame) and Maride (melt) are. Also in this category usually have a large number, though not always, California, imported from China and other distant countries, despite the cheap (squid) calamari, frozen. If kalamari weather is on the menu will tell you what is good. When sliced and fried is usually frozen, but fresh grilled or fried calamari is all. Kalamari thrapsala family satire to you and I look like and taste like a squid, not a squid. Well, maybe it's a satire, but they served fresh thrapsala kalamari is grilled or fried as a whole.
The same family soupia (Roach), less tentacles and sometimes fried, but cooked in a tomato sauce. A meze (b) as octopus in small quantities, to be eaten locally or can come from China or the Atlantic. Octopus will go to a number of ways that I can serve later. In between there are a number of fish whose price depends on supply and (swordfish) Xifias, some varieties of Mediterranean tuna, and a whole family of golden trout and mussels, are also included. Of them (sea bream) fagri, bream (sea bream), lavraki (bass), (Pandora) lithrini and Synagro (Denton), most of which are either fried or grilled and is sold by the kilogram.
Up the food chain Astakos (lobster), fish, which cost a small fortune, and anyone who has taken on a charter boat to the islands is to be familiar, because many of their clients, employers taverns fresh lobster hire or newly popular Makaron Astakos (macaroni with lobster). It is not surprising, because the pattern for a commission from restaurants and all businesses that cost a table full of locusts can offer a few hundred dollars or more. But here's a tip. Save money lobster house. More appreciated Mediterranean lobsters, bass, and make some delicious cooking of these creatures have mastered. In addition, they lack claws and tail is the only edible part, if you chew a piece of meat from the legs and antennae want to spend the night. Yes the Greek antennas lobster meat. But it is not enough to justify eating. Milos famous restaurant Da Roberto pepper lobster with claws looked at. "Where you can get lobster with claws?" I asked in surprise. "On the plane," he said in broken English. They moved to Maine, perhaps, in short, somewhere in the Atlantic.
