[Sca-cooks] Italian fish in oil spreads

[Pixel, Queen of Cats]

But you don't kill the fish before you send it to Florence. You put it,
still alive, in a barrel of water with a bunch of other living fish, and
send it on a cart.

Or you have fishponds. Does anybody know whether they used fishponds in
Italy the same way they did in England and France?
