Pan Fried Skrei Cod served with red cabbage, mussels, carelian caviar, cucumber & parsley stalks with champagne sauce.

The Skrei Cod spends most of its time in the Barents Sea, at the age of 5 it swims back to its birthplace of Norway to Spawn. This Norwegian Cod is at its best at this time of the year. Skrei comes from the Norse word ‘Skrida’ meaning Wander or to walk. The Carelian Caviar is a sustainable, natural caviar produced in the Nordic waters of Finland. This addition to a champagne sauce, mixed with sweetness from the mussels, the sharpness and earthiness from the dressed red cabbage and freshness from the cucumber makes an indulgent fish or main course.
