Barabino
Barabino
Barabino was the nickname of the man who first bought this fish stall inside the San Lorenzo market in the immediate postwar period and grandfather to the current owner, Alessandro. The whole family has always been engaged in the business and has started several fish shops throughout the town. The owner drives twice a week to the Viareggio fish market, while suppliers from Viareggio provide the stall with freshly-caught and top-quality fish every day.

In order to grant his customers fresh fish from the Tirreno sea all the week long, Fabio personally visit, three-four times a week, the fish markets in Livorno and Viareggio. On Thursday he even takes the highway to the coast twice in the day, in the morning and in the afternoon. And on Friday: feast day for fish! Sea basses, orates, moscardini, rockfish, tub gurnards, atlantic bonitos, sanpietro (John Dory fish), red and pink prawns and jumbo shrimps. And then blue-fish: from April till October, or from the Adriatic sea during Winter come fresh veracious clams.
