One thing you’ll notice if you get the chance to visit any European ports.  Preserved fish is on every menu.  In Italy, it was tuna.  Big chunks of tuna dripping in fragrant olive oil.  With just a touch of sea salt.  Even those that think they don’t like tuna might be converted with this dish.  That’s the inspiration behind today’s Italian Style Preserved Tuna Recipe with Herbs & Beans.  

Saying hello from Portofino, Italy (circa 2005)
