We had it Christmas Eve, some plain, some with anchovie and some with croutons in the center of the round ball of dough. I went searching for the reciepe when I found this site. A slightly different type then I was used to, but still brings back great memories. Hi, I have not had any pettole since my grandmother passed away.

EVERYTHING in there shop is wonderful! I have never had this dish, but I will ask Pina about it. They have fish (from Trani area) brought up every Friday, maybe i will have to order eel. Great site.

There's nothing to clean, unlike fish. It's one central spine, the 'meat' just falls off. I fell in love in with it when I had Zuppa di Pesce at a restaurant in Termoli, our seaside town in Molise. Please Sara and Shell, give it a taste! Pettole are just like our Scr'pell (our dialect)or scarpelle in Italian, except we make them long and thin. It's a sad trend that not a lot of people make them at home anymore. Thank goodness for paneifici. I attempted them a few years ago. Did you know if you put cooked potato in the dough they come out really tender? To avoid that greasy smell in the house I fried them outside on the gas burner of the barbecue. Pretty furba, eh?
