Rick Stein: From Venice to Istanbul (2015)

S1E3 Albania

Rick begins his journey in Croatia, making his way to Soti Bay, renowned for its exceptional salt and distinctive oysters. Traveling through Montenegro, he reunites with his adult son. They then venture into the overlooked and historically isolated country of Albania. Together, they delve into a culinary landscape that is slowly emerging from the shadows of a strict communist regime that once prohibited even fishing. They discover traditional cooking methods like dry pasta and a shepherd’s campfire oven, celebrating the freshness of local seafood and meat prepared with minimal fuss.
