Musciame di tonno
Musciame or mosciame is a traditional Italian preserved meat made from the salted and sun-dried flesh of dolphins. It is black, and looks like a piece of charred wood hanging from a string.[1]: 220 [2]: 16 It was made by the sailors and fishermen of the coast of Liguria and Versilia;[1]: 220 under European law, it may no longer be legally produced or sold.[3] A somewhat similar product in Sicily made from fillet of tuna, often sold as "mosciame di tonno", is essentially the same as the mojama de atún of Spain.
