Hello my lovely archaeogastronomers! A new episode is out! "Aedepsus in Euboea, where the baths are, is a place by nature every way fitted for free and gentle pleasures, and withal so beautified with stately edifices and dining rooms, that one would take it for no other than the common place of repast for all Greece. Here, though the 'earth and air yield plenty of creatures for the service of men, the sea no less furnisheth the table with variety of dishes, nourishing a store of delicious fish in its deep and clear waters." So Plutarch tells us in his book, Moralia. How much fish did the ancient Greeks eat? Was it popular? Expensive? What are the surviving recipes?Let's explore on this episode the story of fish eating in the ancient Greek World!
