What the boats do not bring is not on the counter, so on a stormy day the list is short. The team tells you each fish's price before it goes to the kitchen.
How it works
- 1
You choose
At the counter, with the fishmonger: one fish for the table or one each.
- 2
It is weighed in front of you
The price is per 100 grams. A pandora of 400 g at €7.50 per 100 g comes to €30.00.
- 3
The weight goes on your bill
The fish joins your table's order with its weight and its price per 100 g, so the bill shows what you chose.
- 4
The kitchen cooks it your way
grilled over charcoal · baked with potatoes and fennel · baked in a crust of Gozo sea salt (+2.00) · fried, with lemon
