Gino's Italy: Secrets of the South: Temporada 2, Episódio 6

2 - 6: Salento

Gino travels on his Vespa, further South along Puglia's heel to Salento, riding along its Adriatic coast to the port of San Foca. Here, he meets an Italian free-diving champion who still fishes with a spear underwater like the Ancient Greeks. Gino dives in, searching for sea bass for the dinner table. Back on his bike, he heads to the western Salento coast to learn about the secrets of organic farming in Salento's rich soil where giant onions grow alongside strawberries and the best low starch new potatoes are found. On the edge of a still and beautiful Ionian Sea, Gino cooks his spoils: pan fried sea bass with a new potato salad, which goes down with a splash!
