A cuoppo di mare is a paper cone of mixed fried seafood -- squid rings, anchovies, small shrimp, tentacles -- battered lightly and fried to order in very hot oil, eaten standing from the paper without utensils.
The cuoppo (paper cone) is the defining vessel of Neapolitan street food, used for anything sold hot from a friggitoria counter. The mare version uses the catch landed daily at Porta Nolana fish market; the terra version uses potato croquettes and frittatine. The friggitorie of the Pignasecca and the Spanish Quarter have sold cuoppi since at least the 1800s.
