After a beautiful day among beaches, archaeological sites and walks it is important to take stock of the situation in front of a typical dish of the area and certainly in Oristano, as well as seeing, you must also eat. Mullet is the fish that is often found in locals' homes, perhaps boiled and wrapped in zibba (a plant found in ponds), this dish is called Sa Merca . Bottarga is obtained from the eggs of Cabras mullet (but also tuna), fabulous to be enjoyed grated over spaghetti and which has become a symbolic dish not only of Oristano but of all the Sardinian coastal areas. Eels are also a typical dish of the area, usually cooked on the grill and seasoned with bay leaves. In the Marceddì area, mussels and clams are also bred , to be enjoyed absolutely as an appetizer in white or with soup. Of the land dishes I definitely recommend trying the red ox meat that comes from the pastures of Scanu Montiferru, a small village near Oristano. Red ox meat is a  Slow Food Presidium, a brand that protects biodiversity and enhances small traditional productions, breeds and plant varieties at risk of extinction. When we are in the Oristano area there is absolutely no lack of a lunch based on Bue Rosso, the meat is tasty, grows in a healthy way and you can clearly feel that it maintains high quality characteristics.
