By the end of summer and the beginning of Autumn the fishermen go by sea to fish mullets. They fish only the females, the bigger ones, to open their stomach and pull out the egg bags: this is how you start preparing "bottarga".
The egg bags, once salted, are hung up to the air for a long dry out, one they are mature they become a dark orange colour and one of the most delicious specialities of the island.
The most productive areas are : the Gulf of Cagliari, Sarrabus, Ogliastra and the area around Oristano.(continues)

The sites available were mostly experimental and as such, they often disappeared quickly.
The majority of sites featured cultural content and e-commerce hadn't yet arrived on the Net.
The Isola Sarda site was developed during that period, becoming a milestone and filling a vacuum that would last at least ten years.
Today, it still continues to welcome its many visitors who are searching for information about our beautiful island.
