Mingle with fishermen at a seaside village, learn how they rely on ancient techniques to net fish and then dine on their daily catch. In Marsaxlokk, the fishermen will demonstrate some of the fascinating traditional methods they still use. The design of Maltese fishing boats is also centuries old; they are painted in bright primary colors and prominently feature the symbol of an eye on each side of the bow, which is an ancient Phoenician custom. The fishermen will also display their daily catch, which typically includes lampuki, a species more commonly known as dorado or mahi mahi. They will then lead you to the Tartarun Restaurant near the harbor so the chef can cook the fish for your lunch. It might be a beer-battered and fried, roasted with clams or added to a Maltese fish soup known as aljotta. You can help the chef prepare the meal or just watch. Regardless, it will taste sensational.
