Fishermen know how to cook well, perhaps because they have fresh ingredients on hand or because work on the boat is better spent with a good meal in their bellies. The fact is that today in Catalan fishing ports we find fishermen lighting the fire in their pans and casseroles to cook all kinds of dishes. For the Virgen del Carmen, July 16, the towns of Portlligat and Sitges honored their patron saint with the finest festivities: they paraded the Virgin on a boat at sea, and the fishermen prepared dishes for neighbors, friends, and family. We tried them and told you about them.
