SCAMPI

THE FISHERIES OF THE ADRIATIC
AND THE FISH THEREOF.
A REPORT OF THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN SEA-FISHERIES,
WITH A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MARINE FAUNA OF THE ADRIATIC GULF
by G. L. Faber
London: Bernard Quaritch
1883

   This book arrived from "off-site."  I had posted "scampo" from 1890.

Pg. 141:  Each market has its _specialite_ at certain seasons; for instance, Fiume, the _Scampi_ (Norway Lobster); Zara, a great variety of Crustaceans, among which is the Rock Lobster (_Palinurus vulgaris_); Sebenico, the _Dentale della corona_ (_Dentex gibbosus_), whilst at Spalato the Pelamid and the Lichia (_Lizza_) are very abundant.  Trieste being the best market, most of the _specialites_ of other markets are sent there for sale, for instance, the _Scampo_ of Fiume, the Tunny of Croatia, and the Rock Lobster from Dalmatia, &c.
   As a rule, the most valued of the Adriatic fishes are the Basse (_Branzin_), the Dentex (_Dentale_), the Surmullets (_Barbone_ and _Triglia_), the Red, or SPanish Sea-bream (_Ribone_), the Gilt-head (_Orada_); these are always more or less common, especially in autumn and spring.  The summer fisheries (Pg. 142) yield the Mackerel (_Scombro_) and its relatives the Tunny (_Ton_), the Pelamid (_Palamida_), and the plain Bonito (_Tombarello_), the latter being only occasionally met with.  To these must be added the _Lizza_ (_Lichia amia_).
