In the summer months, when the fishing ban is in force, and on winter days when the sea is too rough to fish, farmed sea bass is the backbone of our menu. We buy from farms in Muğla and İzmir that are registered with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and hold an international good aquaculture practice certificate. Each delivery comes with the harvest date and farm details.
Wild sea bass
In winter, line-caught wild sea bass sometimes appears on the board. Its legal minimum size is 25 cm; price and availability vary by day, so ask your waiter.
Cooking
- Grilled fillet: with crisp skin and vegetables.
- Poached: in its own juices with vegetables.
- Salt-baked: fish over 1.5 kg baked in a sea-salt crust and cracked at the table (order a day ahead).
Farmed sea bass can also be prepared as a boneless fillet, the easiest option for tables with children.
