Neapolitan Cuoppo (seafood or land)

The Neapolitan cuoppo is a cone-shaped paper parcel filled with golden, fragrant fried bites, served piping hot and meant to be eaten with your hands. It can be seafood-based — with squid, anchovies, and shrimp — or land-style, with potato croquettes, zeppoline made from risen dough, and battered vegetables. The aroma is intense, of hot oil and the sea, while the texture alternates between crisp on the outside and soft inside. It’s the perfect snack to enjoy while strolling through the narrow streets or along the seafront.
