Our noses drew us to this Osteria, when we smelled prawns being grilled. There were lots of people standing and eating at the counter, so we tried to get a table.
The locals eat while standing
We ordered the mixed seafood for the table …
All the food we ate
Everyone got a plate of this:
Our platters with prawns, octopus. Side of artichokes
And then to share:
Raw salmon and olive oil
The raw salmon was a little strange, as we were used to fresher varieties served with wasabi and soya sauce, so we found this hard to eat …
Sarde in saor (marinated sardine)
My favorite dish in Venice has to be the Sardine in Saor. The sardines were fried in batter, and then served with sour pickled onions. Delish!
We had two other fish dishes:
Baccala Mantecato (Creamed Cod)
More dried cod, I think?
They gave us some mini ice-cream cones at the end of our meal. Yummo!
Ice cream!
