About Baccalà mantecato veneziano
Baccalà mantecato is Venice's whipped stockfish preparation. This version follows the original recipe published by its Dogale Confraternita, using soaked stockfish flesh and skin with sunflower and extra virgin olive oils.
Lemon and bay perfume the fish, while salt and pepper provide the seasoning. Mild olive oil contributes flavour alongside the more neutral sunflower oil, with parsley finishing the dish.
The mixture is a firm cream with some fish pieces remaining. It is served with polenta; this profile selects the source's grilled-polenta option.
