Sarde in Saor (Italy)
One of Venice's most traditional dishes, this delicious marinated sardine originated among the fishermen and sailors of La Serenissima as a way to preserve fish on their long voyages. Sarde in saor is made by frying fresh sardines and then marinating them with lightly cooked onions, pine nuts, and raisins with white wine or vinegar.
The meal is preferably prepared the day before serving and can keep well for a week. It is found on every corner in Venice and is typically served alongside grilled polenta.
