Marinated masculines

Preparation:

Preparation: Masculini belong to the anchovy family and are the most common white fish in Catania and on the Etna coast. They are cooked in various ways and are also eaten raw according to this recipe. Clean the masculine well, wash them under running water and remove their bones and heads. Arrange them in a bowl covered with lemon juice and add a pinch of salt. Leave to rest for a few hours, then change the juice with that of other fresh lemons and season again with a pinch of salt. Put the mascolini in the fridge and after 24 hours remove them from the marinade and serve them as an appetizer, with a drizzle of oil, a lot of pepper, chopped garlic, chopped parsley and a few slices of lemon. If you don't want to consume them immediately, the fish can stay in the marinade, in the fridge, for four or five days.
