Taste translation
If you like sweet-and-sour flavors or pickled fish, this is Venice at its most distinctive: tangy, sweet, and savory all at once.
Zen's note
Born as fishermen’s food to preserve sardines on long voyages. The sweet-sour combo is unexpected but genius. Give it a chance, it’s one of the flavors that defines Venice.
