Typical dishes: In the gastronomic tradition of the populations placed on the coast of the Marche prevails the fish and there is to choose between soups, mixed grills, fries, accompanied by wellknow valuables doc wines. The well-known dish is the brodetto. There are many way to cook it: the one of Ancona, of San Benedetto del Tronto, of Civitanova Marche, of Fano, of Porto Recanati, of Porto San Giorgio, etc. The difference is not in the types of fishes used, but in their different quality of aromas, vegetables and tomatos, which introduces dominant characteristics of the differents places of origin. We should not forget the stoccafisso of Ancona, which offers one of the best italian version.
