I had one of the best dishes in my life last night at the Chef's Table!! I will be posting more about the whole meal in another blog entry but will share this fabulous dish with you for now. It was poached sea bass which had been cooked perfectly. Firm flesh but still moist inside. And it came with lots of complimentary side items. Where to start? How about the passion fruit "caviar" which was on top, and had just started to melt as the plate was set in front of you. Or the olive oil dust where you could drag a morsel of fish through it to provide a a floral nuance. Or the wonderfully crispy squid ink chip which you could break up into pieces like a tortilla chips and mix with the delicate white miso sauce. Everything on this plate had a purpose which is what made it so wonderful. Fish, cooked simply, and only partnered with sides that complimented, and in some cases deliciously contrasted with that succulent seafood.
