An excerpt from the excellent review of Tetsuya’s at Eat, Show & Tell
Confit of Petuna Tasmanian Ocean Trout with Konbu, Daikon, & Fennel Seasonal Green Salad at Tetsuya’s
s: This was the best thing I have ever tasted in a long time. The ingredients complimented each other rather nicely, but it was the ocean trout that was perfection itself. I was definitely sorry that I finished it. The salad that accompanied this dish was a simple one - garden salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar - but there was something about it that made it delicious; perhaps it was the combination of fresh greens and the perfect balance between olive oil and balsamic.
h: I can understand why people rave about this dish and it’s Tetsuya’s signature. The trout was amazingly fresh, the konbu perfectly complimenting it and bursting with flavour when hitting the tongue. All the ingredients work nicely in harmony with each other.
m: Konbu! This is a dish definitely worthy of the raving. Deceptively simple, yet the combination of it all works wonderfully. The trout is soft and pink and almost overpowering without the kombu to give you a slightly salty kick to it all. The vegetables chosen were a good choice as they had a milder taste to them to avoid overpowering the fish. Also came with a very nice garden salad which was a hit with the table.
r: Overzealous in filling my ravenous stomach, I had finished this course off in record time. Possibly quicker than the time it took me to type this. Looking around at my fellow diners, including the random strangers around me, I realised I had just committed culinary sacrilege. Eager for a proper taste of Tetsuya-san’s much heralded brilliance, I was given a (pity) portion of squishies’ sample. The soft, tender, salty trout was simply amazing. The combination makes a mouthful that is difficult to capture in words, although the girls have made a good dig at it. Try it, you’ll see…
Many, many thanks to my guest posters from Eat Show and Tell for their review of Tetsuya’s. You can follow them on Flickr at Squishies
