Lobsters and scampi represent the best of the shellfish that the Adriatic offers to fishermen. The preparation of the busara, of Istro-Dalmatian origin (in the 1700s sardines were prepared in Venice and scampi in Kvarner), is perhaps the one that best enhances them. The recipe offers a dish to taste without having to resort to the classic apron.
