Pesce all'Acqua Pazza means Fish in Crazy Water. Many American interpretations of this dish seem to take this translation extremely literal. They really accentuate the "crazy", using it as an excuse to clean out the refrigerator and add all kinds of ingredients to flavor the water. Read more I am not sure of the origins of the name, but I do know that all it needs is a simple flavoring of garlic, herbs, tomato, salt and a pinch of hot pepper as presented here. Recipe is from a small ristorante in positano on the Amalfi coast. called O'Capurale. See less

This looks a very nice for cooking fish, simple and easy yet very good. I think when fish is enough fresh and good you only need to add a few things to make it better. Simplicity is the key¡¡ thanks for the recipe.
