Zuppa di Pesce, a traditional Italian seafood stew, has a rich history dating back to the coastal regions of Italy. The addition of saffron, a prized and aromatic spice, elevates the dish with its unique flavor and vibrant color. Renowned chefs in Sicily and Sardinia have perfected this recipe, infusing the stew with the essence of the Mediterranean. The best version of this dish can be found in the charming coastal restaurants of Southern Italy, where the freshest catch of the day is combined with saffron-infused broth, tomatoes, and a medley of seafood. The key to a perfect Zuppa di Pesce lies in the quality of the seafood and the delicate balance of saffron, creating a symphony of flavors that captures the essence of the sea.
