Be a true Venetian! Fish tastes better when it is fresh, seasonal and local, especially if you personally buy it and cook it at home with the tips of a local guy!
The market place in Venice is Rialto: its fish market is noisy, raw, authentic and full of true venetian life. Fish is artfully arranged on stalls covered with deep layers of crushed ice; seagulls wander among the fishmongers calling out today’s catch, local people purposefully browse the stalls scattered in the two halls of the “Pescheria”, as generations of Venetians have been doing for the past 800 years!
As soon as you have made your best choice for fish, you will cross the Canal Grande on a Gondola ferry, most probably together with some local housewives hurrying up heading home! With a 15 minutes’ walk through hidden “calles” you will reach Fondamente Nove, where you will catch a vaporetto to Murano where the cooking will take place.
You will cook your meal together with a local Venetian while tasting some glasses of prosecco, some appetizers and enjoying the view on the canal from the dining room.
Following the tips of your host you will cook pasta with a tasty fish sauce while a seabass is baking to perfection in the oven.
The conclusion of the lunch will be a strong Italian coffee, of course brewed from a moka machine.

We will meet in one of the most authentic spots in Venice. Every day here fresh fish and seafood is artfully arranged on stalls covered with deep layers of crushed ice, fishmongers wearing long aprons and gloves are busy at work, wrapping fish in paper and taking orders from customers. We will immerse ourselves in this trickle of people besieging the stalls, marvelling at the amazing shapes and colours of the fish to cook it fresh at home.
We will cross the Grand Canal as venetian housewives are doing: with a gondola ferry!
We will head up home crossing Cannaregio district, one of the largest and most populated of the city, with a characteristic configuration of endless parallel canals lined with wide fondamente joining bridges and narrow streets.
We will cook our 3 courses meal in a state-of-the art kitchen in a venetian house overlooking the canal in Murano.
