Brodetto, a rich and hearty seafood stew, hails from the eastern coastal regions of Italy, specifically the Marche region. Its origins can be traced back to the fishermen of the Adriatic Sea. These resourceful men would use the catch of the day that didn't make it to the market, creating a delectable melange of seafood. The broth was traditionally thickened with pieces of toasted bread. To this day, it's said that every town along the coast has its own unique version of Brodetto, just as every Italian grandmother has her own recipe for pasta sauce. The dish is a true celebration of regional biodiversity, where the fresh seafood used is dependent on the season and the local catch.
