Liguria

The Italian Riviera, centred on Genoa, a maritime republic whose port was historically the gateway for salted fish moving inland along the old salt roads. The Ligurian Sea yields anchovies prized across Italy, and Genoese trade shaped the country's preserved-fish economy. Producers with roots here include Angelo Parodi, a long-established Genoese canned-fish house, packing tuna, anchovies, and mackerel in the Ligurian style.
