Crazy for fish!

Are you crazy about Venetian style seafood dishes? Take the chance to experience the whole process, step by step, from raw to cooked fish with the help of local experts! In the morning your guide will take you to the Rialto fish market to discover what seasonal fish is available, how to distinguish farm raised from fresh catch, how large the variety of local seafood is, which are the most common species in the Adriatic and the Mediterranean Sea.

A gondola-ferry will take you across the Grand Canal where a renowned restaurant is located, "Al Fontego dei Pescatori", owned and run by Loris Manna, President of the Rialto fishmongers. While you\'ll be shown how to properly clean and cook a fresh fish, Loris and Chef Massimo will be pleased to answer your questions, explaining how to transform a traditional Venetian recipe into a creative work of art. You\'ll also learn about the general rules in pairing seafood with local Doc wines, which regional wines are worth buying and where you can find them in the city.

Can you ask for anything more? Of course! To complete the experience - a four course seafood meal at the same restaurant, created especially for you and at a special price, to be enjoyed after the tour or for dinner on in the evening of that same day. As a starter you will taste a Mixed Adriatic Seafood dish including Lagoon crab, Baby octopus, Whipped Venetian cod and Shrimps", to continue with "Homemade egg Noodles with Scampi and Peas or Asparagus sauce" and as a main course "Fresh Sea bass fillet with Vegetable Ratatouille"...
What a treat...
