head belongs to the commandant,
who has likewise the privilege of
buying the best fish at a very low
price. For which reason, the choice
pieces are concealed by the
fishermen and sent privately to
Piedmont or Genoa. But, the chief
fisheries on this coast are of the
sardines, anchovies, and tunny.
These are taken in small quantities
all the year; but spring and
summer is the season when they
mostly abound. In June and July a
fleet of about fifty fishing-boats
puts to sea every evening about
eight o’clock, and catches
anchovies in immense quantities.
