The Grilled Herring from La Bottega della Renga is a small jewel of the Veronese tradition. In the culinary tradition of the city of Verona, the "Herring" (that is, the herring, preserved smoked under salt, then grilled, minced and preserved in oil) is the main dish of Ash Wednesday. On this day in Parona (a district of Verona), along the Adige River, the popular "Festa de la Renga" takes place, marking the end of the carnival and the beginning of the period of fasting and penance that precedes Easter. Tradition has it that during Lent, fatty foods are avoided, and smoked herring was considered a light yet tasty food.
