Additive Fried Seafood in Siracusa

Anyone who has studied physics would be familiar with the Archimedes' Principle. But few realize that Archimedes was born in Syracuse in Sicily. I for one only came to know this fact when I finally set foot on Syracuse or Siracusa on 24 May 2018. Though tucked in an inconspicuous small lane called Via Vincenzo Mirabella, we managed to find our way to the "Museum of Leonardo da Vinci & Archimedes Siracusa" and spent some time browsing through the items on display.


In the end, it was not Archimedes that preeminently captured my attention in Siracusa. It was rather the seafood in a small restaurant that we unintentionally found as we strolled along the myriad of crisscrossing small lanes that mesmerized us. We were fast addicted to the paper wrapped takeaway fried seafood bought from that outlet. We loved it so much that in the evening, we took another walk all the way back from our accommodation to the outlet for a second helping. Unfortunately the outlet, Ortigia Fish Bar was closed by then.
