Since time immemorial, the Adriatic has provided fresh supplies for Venice restaurants and homes. A visit to the Grand Canal-side fish market, under its splendid neo-Gothic arches, provides a slippery, writhing introduction to moeche (soft-shelled crabs), schie (tiny gray shrimps), capelunghe (razor clams), and other wondrous marine creatures. Seafood is the foundation of the city's cuisine, but it's not the whole story.
