Reference: fravaglio Reference information: The fravagli, few centimeter long, mainly of triglia (Mullus surmuletus) or retunni (Spicara smaris), typically fried I think it is used for rhyming purposes (as in 'occhio malocchio prezzemolo e finocchio'), it sees to refer to some sort of mincing in the Neapolitan dialect.
