Pick up a paper cone at Frito Inn, Venice's no-frills fried street food counter. Order the fried squid and eat it hot while you wander, keeping the stop short and cheap.
Full description
Frito Inn is a no-frills takeaway counter built around fried food, with no seating and a format closer to a British chippy than a sit-down restaurant. Reviewers mention fried squid in particular, with some returning years later and one eating there three times in a single day.
Opinions vary: some call it simply decent, basic street food, while others love it. With budget-friendly prices, a typical stop of about 20 minutes and daily hours from 9 AM to 11 PM, it is a flexible option for families, solo travellers and anyone wanting a quick, hot snack.

I ate fried food here about 10 years ago. It was so delicious. So I came back. It was really hot, but it was still tasty. The fried squid. It's better than average!
