Has no doubts about it Will be Gugliottapresident of Associbo and historic juror of the program: «The Pesserpada is certainly the king of the Messina cuisine and, perhaps, it is all too much. The right period of his fishing in the Strait of Messina reaches his maximum in the summer months, but in the Messina restaurants we find it almost all year round. The advice I can give about it is to consume fish and any other product according to seasonality, to have maximum taste and respect for territoriality “.
