Perhaps I should have paid more note to the quotation marks, but when I ordered this I was expecting strips of smoky grilled eggplant and capsicum glistening in olive oil. Instead, we got dobs of eggplant and pepper puree over and around admittedly tasty pieces of smoked mackerel, on a very fragile corn tuile. The capers and ikura lift the dish with briny bursts of saltiness, and I would probably have enjoyed this more on its own merits, if not for the mismatched expectations.

Taste: 3/5
