Description
Porto San Giorgio's version of the Adriatic fish stew — distinct from the Ancona brodetto in using vinegar in the base and a fixed selection of 13 fish types, one for each apostle and Christ. Each fish type is added in a specific sequence to the pan and cooked in its own section of the pan without stirring — the organisation of fish by type is part of the tradition. Finished with a handful of fresh herbs. The acidity of wine vinegar in the base is what distinguishes Porto San Giorgio's version from its neighbours.

—Both have fixed fish species requirements that are part of the dish's identity; both serve with bread for broth absorption French
—Multiple fish species in sequence in a single pot, organised by cooking time — same structural approach Portuguese
