Bianco

(Μπακαλιάρος μπιάνκο, Bourdeto bianco)

Bourdeto bianco, more commonly known as just bianco, is a type of stew where the main ingredient, usually a white fish, is cooked in a sauce made with garlic, white wine, potatoes, and plenty of lemon juice. It is crucial to use only fresh fish and their heads as a base for rich fish stock used for the stew.


The name and preparation are a remnant of the island's Venetian history, but today it is considered one of the most emblematic local dishes. Bianco is typically served with bread on the side to soak up the flavorful sauce and, ideally, paired with local white wine.
