Abstract

This dish is from the city of Alghero on Sardinia’s North Western coast, where the best rock lobsters (also called ‘spiny lobsters’) are found.

Due to its strategic position in the middle of the Mediterranean, Sardinia has a long history of being occupied by foreign forces. In the 14th century, Catalan invaders took over Alghero, and their influence is still apparent today in the architecture, food and even the dialect spoken there.
