The story

About the dish

Grill-seared yellowfin tuna brings clean, meaty savor and a light smoky char, while Sicilian-style caponata adds a sweet-and-sour vegetable counterpoint. Together they frame the fish with the bright, assertive balance associated with Sicily’s table.

Favignana’s former Florio tuna works grew into a major food-preservation complex, reflecting how deeply tuna fishing and canning shaped the Egadi Islands’ economy and identity.
