Baccalà Mantecato

This dish is typical of Vicenza, but you will find it all over Veneto. Here stoccafisso is confusingly called baccalà though it describes dried cod, not the salted and dried cod that we know as baccalà. This dish is eaten with polenta (often white in Venice). I still find it interesting that with all the abundance of fresh fish from lakes, rivers and sea, preserved cod from Norway is considered a delicacy in many parts of Italy.
