In the past, the economy of Orbetello was based on exploiting the Orbetello lagoon and fishing. Currently, this activity, which was once passed down from father to son in fishing families, is managed by I Pescatori di Orbetello. The waters of the lagoon are rich in prized fish such as sea bass, sea bream, mullet, and eel.
In the past, shrimp and shellfish were also caught.
The fish is processed locally or sold in many markets in Italy and abroad.
A prized product is mullet roe, as well as the preparation of smoked eels with the addition of spices and chili pepper, which are undoubtedly the typical dish of local cuisine.
