Chioggia

Patrick and Narelle will visit the local commercial fish auction to meet up with a buyer who selects produce for one of the town's finest restaurants called El Gato. Narelle is then invited back to join the chefs in the kitchen to watch how they prepare some local specialities. You will then join Manuel and his son Christian to go fishing in the shallows of the Venice Lagoon. They are skilled fisherman known as the Moecanti, who fish for Moeche - a soft shell crab. It's an ancient tradition of net and pole fishing that dates back over 1,500 years. You will visit the local fisherman's lair for a cook up and feast. You will then join a local artist for a light lunch and learn more about the local town and culture. Before the yacht is launched, Narelle visits the fish and street markets where you'll meet the delightful Giovanna, who has been peeling artichokes for 70 years. Before they sail to Venice, you'll join Narelle in the galley where she prepares branzino al sale (Sea Bass in Rock Salt) using all the fresh produce she bought at the markets. On the way, Narelle prepares a barbecue on deck to cook Capesante (Scallops), Chioggiotto fisherman style before sailing into Venice.
