Swimming with the fishes at Zucca Trattoria

Zucca Trattoria - Toronto, Ontario
Review rating: 1 out of 4 = Good

No, I don’t mean it in the Sicilian way. But Zucca Trattoria, an Italian restaurant near the Yonge and Eglinton neighborhood, does produce one dish that is quite common in Sicily and is a star of their restaurant menu - the grilled whole fish. Now, if you haven’t eaten a whole fish before, shame on you. There is something special about cooking and eating fish with its head, tail and bone intact. Flavor is much more intense, not to mention you get to eat the best (my favorite) part of the fish – the cheek.
