Fish in "Acqua Pazza"

4.5

(23)

This simple entrée is a variation of a dish from Ristorante Don Alfonso in the town of Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi, just outside Naples. There, it's sometimes served on toasted Italian bread, which soaks up the "crazy water" - the tomato-based sauce. The fish is quick to prepare and is also low in fat.
