The afternoon part of the day was characterised by the tasty fish stew, prepared by industrious members of the Batana House. That is, twenty kilograms of freshly caught fish at the County championship in underwater fishing ended up in a large cauldron at the quay, instead in the Club. As directed by the chef Sergio Ferarra, and with support of employees of Maistra who prepared the polenta, 450 delicious meals of genuine Rovinj fish stew were cooked and handed out to guests and hosts free of charge.
