A common catch was Lake Garda carp, an endemic salmonid that is still only found in Lake Garda. Today the fishermen catch freshwater sardines, pike, whitefish, tench, chub, and the famous alborelle or àole, which are eaten fried, or dried in the sun, cooked in sauce and onions and served as sisàm, the typical fishermen’s dish.
Era diffuso il carpione, un salmonide endemico che ancor oggi vive solo nelle acque del Garda. Oggi vi si pescano sardine di lago, lucci, coregoni, tinche, cavedani e àole, le conosciutissime alborelle, che si possono gustare fritte oppure seccate al sole e poi cotte in salsa e cipolle, a formare il sisàm, tipico piatto dei pescatori.
