Civitanova Marche is a town of sea and fishermen: its harbour is one of the busiest on the Adriatic, and the fish landed every day ends up in the kitchens of the restaurants on the seafront, in the centre and in the streets around the harbour. Here you eat raw fish, fried fish, pasta with the catch of the day and brodetto, the seafood dish of the Marche coast.
