The tuna fish factories

They where to find at different points of the elbanian coast: Linguella, Bagnaia, Enfola and Marciana Marina.
On the island were produced large quantities of saltet tune as well as Sorra and Bottarga.
The interious however was consumed locally and formed the base for the plate " Buzzamaglia " (pot with peas).On 24 June 1958 the last " Mattanza "  (a local type of the fishing tune and slaughtering) took place at Enfola. 22 tons fish became fished. On 25 June the factory was inundated by a very strong current, which interlaced all networks and ropes to a gigantically ball.
