Venice dining with fish allergies

Any suggestions for food in Venice that isn't fish?
"Sono alergico alle Pesce and fruiti de mare".

La Zucca is on my list, any other restaurants?

It's good to let them know you are allergic in case they use fish as an ingriendent in a non fish dish ( for instance my ex bill has a fish allergy , but can eat shellfish, he once ordered clam chowder thinking they use clam broth , but they used fish broth instead!!, luckily he sense a problem as soon as soup touched his lip and immediately stopped ) However getting on fish dishes is very easy in Venice . My daughter dislikes fish and never ate any where we dined . It would be very rare for a restaurant to ONLY have fish dishes .

My daughter is allergic to anything from the sea, and she ate well in Venice.

No need to worry. There will be plenty of non-fish options

I am allergic to fish & seafood - I ate well in Venice. There are a lot of other options - no worries.

Are you deathly allergic that you need a restaurant that does not offer ANY fish for fear of cross contamination?

Don't order the fish. And don't get hung up on any particular restaurant.
