Typical dishes of Caorle cuisine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for a truly unique culinary experience, you must try the typical dishes of Caorle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bit of history<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today, the word Caorle<\/strong> has become synonymous with good food<\/strong>. And this can be seen above all in the number of restaurants open in the town centre, but also in the nearby hamlets; restaurants that are packed during the bathing season, but are also packed on winter weekends, when the cold wind does not tempt inland residents to go as far as the sea; yet they do come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The culinary tradition of the people of Caorle<\/strong> goes back a long way, to when fishermen used to go to the lagoon or the sea<\/strong> and, considering the many hours they spent away from home, the boats were equipped with a small fire to warm up their lunch. Which of course consisted only and exclusively of fish<\/strong>, with a noticeable added value: it was freshly caught<\/strong>. With the advent of tourism, these fishermen-cooks decided to bring their expertise to more organised kitchens and the first restaurants opened.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Typical dishes of Caorle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The typical dishes found in Caorle<\/strong> are those of the traditional Venetian cuisine<\/strong> and therefore based on fish<\/strong>. We mention only a few of the most delicious and popular dishes in our restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\"Bigoi\" with sauce<\/h2>\n \n
\n

The best known dish is definitely “Bigoi with sauce”<\/strong>, a special pasta seasoned with sardines and onion: a traditional Veneto dish that is prepared mainly at Christmas or on Good Friday at Easter, but many restaurants offer it during all the year.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Sarde in saor<\/h2>\n \n
\n

We also recommend the “Sarde in sa\u00f2r”, sardines ‘drowned’ in onion: a delicacy; it considered to be the food of the poor in the past, who used to add some rasins and pine nuts to it to increase its calories; today we no longer feel the need for more calories.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Fritto misto<\/h2>\n \n
\n

Another popular dish is the fritto misto, <\/strong>which restaurants serve in massive quantities. It consists of various types of fish (dairy fish, squid, shrimps, etc.)<\/strong> that are fried in oil, with the well-known “smoke point” being of paramount importance.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The Caorle octopus<\/strong> fished in the waters off Caorle is considered a true delicacy<\/strong> by its enthusiastic consumers; its popularity is such that many inland restaurants have signs displaying “Here Caorle Octopus”.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
