Baked Fish, Tomato and Olives were discovered at a great restaurant right on the beach in the town of Civitanova Marche, Italy. It is one of the many specialities of the house and, like all Italian Dishes really simple to make. They say that the best cook in every Italian kitchen is the “Forno” (the oven).
L’Oasis has become a real favourite. Sand under your feet, great service and fabulous seafood from a family run kitchen. Who could ask for anything more? It is always packed with locals which is always a good indication of amazing food.

You could use our Tomato Anchovie and Olive Sauce as a base to this dish.
The restaurant recommended a local Pecorino Wine to go with our Baked Fish with Tomato and Olives.
Wine Matching
We served a Christian Patat Pecorino 2016 with our Baked Fish. It’s wonderful. You may not have heard of the Pecorino grape before. Therefore, the Italians tend to hog it all to themselves.
Finally A Bit About the Fish
-
In a whole fish, the eyes should be bright and clear — not cloudy or sunken in. The gills of fresh fish are deep red, not brownish. The skin should be firm, clear, and bright with no trace of slime.
-
Fish that’s fresh from the ocean smells like the ocean — briny, fresh, and mild. If it smells sour or has a strong “fishy” odor, shop elsewhere.
-
If possible, get fresh-cut fillets from whole fish. Only Purchase precut fillets if they’re displayed on a bed of ice, not sealed under plastic, which can trap bacteria and foul odors. Fillets should look moist and lie flat, with no curling at the edges.
