1. Sashimi Grade Hamachi Tuna Crudo
There’s no better way to whet the appetite than with this Italian take on sashimi. Jam-packed with bright and citrusy flavours, chef Darren’s rendition features pristine slices of sashimi-grade Hamachi (yellowtail) that have been marinated in a mixture of fennel, salt, sugar and blood orange zest to accentuate the ocean-fresh flavours. The acerbic notes are pared down with a sprinkle of blood orange oil and black sea salt, making for a well-rounded appetiser that prepares the palate for the heartier dishes to come.
