| Pan Roasted Mahi Mahi with Clams and Cava |
|
Merchants have always plied the water of the Mediterranean: the Phoenicians, the Greeks, The Romans, and the Venetians. Each of the Mediterranean countries retained their own clearly defined cuisines. With such a long coast line fish and seafood play a major role. The wine bottle is never far from the cooks grasp. Herbs are widely used along with aromatic seasonal vegetables.
