Oily, smoky fish with a powerful fermented kick.
Tip: Mackerel is a humble fish but here it is treated like a star. The kimchi is very authentic and quite spicy.

House-made Pickled Mackerel
Contracorrent BarFort Pienc·$$
€9.50
Oily fish cured in a bright, botanical house vinegar.
Tip: The pickling is very delicate. It's one of their most popular cold tapas. Great with a glass of crisp white natural wine.

Mackerel with Mustard and Baby Greens

Oily fish treated with high technical skill and sharp acidity.
Tip: A great example of 'bistronomy'. They take a cheap fish and make it taste like a million dollars. The mustard sauce is fantastic.
