agghiotta

seafood stew

Agghiotta di pesce spada is one of the jewels in Sicily's culinary crown: the swordfish is browned and then slowly stewed with tomatoes, olives, capers, and onions.

Sometimes it's spelled ghiotta; in the province of Messina, they also use the same method to prepare salt cod.
