Treasures of the Sea

We’ve cast the nets far and wide for our latest exploration of the oceans’ bounty. Inspiration for the dishes is also wide-ranging, some coming from further away in the East, while others were inspired by dishes nearer to home. In each case, we’ve chosen dishes which bring out the best of the piscine main ingredient.

We are, again, indebted to the members of the Babur Tasting Group for their many useful ideas and suggestions for this menu.
