Fish carpaccio is a traditional Italian dish, originating from the Veneto region. It consists of raw fish, cut into thin slices and dressed with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and aromatic herbs. The fish most commonly used for carpaccio is tuna, but other varieties such as salmon, swordfish or sea bass can also be used. Fish carpaccio is a fresh, light and very tasty dish, ideal for summer.
