Pikeperch Umi

An exquisite dish that showcases the flavor of local Caspian pikeperch in a contemporary culinary interpretation. The fillet is carefully deboned and scaled to preserve its tender texture and pure flavor, then pan-seared until it develops a light golden crust and reaches the perfect level of juiciness.

The dish is served on a bed of classic shrimp bisque with mussels, which lends it a rich, deep-sea flavor and velvety texture. The composition is rounded out with our signature avocado pesto, edamame beans, and thin strands of chili, creating a balance of freshness, delicate spiciness, and modern aesthetics.
