A paper cone or platter of mixed deep-fried lagoon fish: schie, calamari, prawns, sole, sometimes whitebait. The canonical Venetian fish supper.
Fritto misto della laguna is the canonical Venetian fish supper, served as a sit-down platter at trattorias or as a paper cone at street-food counters like Acqua e Mais near Campo San Polo, where the scartosso tradition continues. The mix varies by season and morning catch: schie in summer, moeche in spring, calamari and prawns year-round, plus the occasional whitebait and sole. The fish is dredged in flour only, never breaded, and fried in olive oil to a pale gold. Best served immediately with lemon and a glass of Soave.
