FiSK Seafoodbar & Market

seasonal heirloom crudité vegetables, salmon and prawn

I couldn’t get enough of these delicate, sweet flavoured shrimps 🦐 hailing from the waters of the North Atlantic. The remarkably pink but translucent shells were easy to peel, revealing firm and juicy meat underneath. A great source of protein and low in fat, I’ll definitely be back for this healthy and nutritious starter / snack 😋😋😋.

These pretty pastel pink shrimps from the cold seas around Northern Europe may be petite compared to the ones found in our tropical waters but they sure know how to charm. The chilly temperature of the sea in that region means they grow slower, which supposedly leads to more complexity in flavour.
Served chilled, the shells peel off easily to reveal firm, bouncy flesh within. Because the prawns are cooked then flash frozen in the area where they’re caught, their inherent pristine taste and sweetness are captured and preserved till they’re ready to be eaten.
One of the highlights about dining at FISK is that right after your meal at the Seafood Bar, you can stroll to the Market area to pick up these prawns ($2.80 for 100gms) to take home.

This is something I would order for myself at FISK. Like a lobster bisque but lighter, it’s one of the standouts for me at yesterday’s tasting.
Due to the foamy texture (which I love by the way), I couldn’t tell there were pieces of boneless fish and small whole prawns in it till I scooped up my first spoon to sip (swipe for video). Now that was a really pleasant surprise. And because of the way it’s prepared, there’s no “fishy” smell whatsoever. Instead, it’s all about gentle sweetness. Very slender vegetable strips gave this soup a nice crunch too.

I hate getting my hands dirty, but these were worth it! From #FiskSeafood, located on the new Novotel/Mercure on Stevens compound. #FindNewFood #MediaTasting
