Carpaccio alla capponada (Salmon carpaccio with anchovy salad)
Camogli
Serves 4

Carpaccio is a much abused term in modern restaurants. The dish was originally made with raw beef, and in the early 1960s Harry’s Bar in Venice named it in honour of the deep red colouring in the paintings of Vittore Carpaccio, who died in 1526 without 
ever eating the dish that took his name. Nowadays the term has been extended to include any raw ingredient, which means it is applied to the sliced raw seafood that used to be known as crudo. For this appetiser, we’ve paired the raw fish (more pink-coloured than Carpaccio-scarlet) with a classic Ligurian crunchy-bread salad.
