Note 1: Gudgeon is actually a freshwater fish, I mistakenly placed Gudgeon in the saltwater fish category.
Note 2: Dolphins are mammals but I included them in the fish category for the sake of convenience.
Note 3: If you want to take a look at how, many of the foods I mentioned in the video, are made, make sure to check out this channel:‪@HistoricalItalianCooking‬
