Second Sunday in July - Sagra della Capponadda in San Rocco

San Rocco di Camogli has been hosting the Sagra della Capponadda Festival since 2002.

Capponadda is a local speciality dish based on fish and a very hard biscuit called 'galletta del marinaio'. These biscuits are so hard that they cannot be eaten without first being soften by spraying them with water.

Next they are broken into pieces and mixed with capers, tuna, salted anchovies, olives and fresh tomatoes cut into small pieces. All the ingredients are then mixed together in a kind of a salad that is dressed with olive oil, salt and oregano.
