Shark?!?!?!

You read it right, I had shark for dinner. Tonight was potentially the worst meal of my life. The first course was this orange soup that tasted like firecrackers, FIRECRACKERS! It was not good. The second course was shark, it was tough, VERY fishy tasting, it was bad. Then there was a cauliflower casserole, it might sound like it could be good but they managed to make it suck. They had a salad too, and by salad I mean finely chopped iceberg lettuce with nothing else, no salad dressing, nothing. How is it that I am in Italy and the food can suck so much?
