Fishworks Dine Out 2023

I was invited in to try the Dine Out Vancouver dinner menu of their 3 course $49 prix fixe which I did recently. The dishes are all shown below and I noted which ones were my favourites from the 3 course menu that I tried. For this year’s dine out festival the restaurant has put together a South American seafood menu that celebrates the area their Sous Chef is from. Wine pairings are extra and they provide wine suggestions to pair with each course.

1st Course APPETIZERS

Wild Pacific Halibut Ceviche

Spanish onion, Peruvian corn, yam, tiger’s milk; this dish was outstanding and it was my favourite.

or

Grilled marinated Octopus

squash puree, chimichurri; this was my 2nd favourite

or

Parihuela Seafood stew

2nd Course ENTREES

Poached Egmont Sturgeon

thyme butter sauce, house made tortellini; this dish was spectacular and this was my favourite

or

Steamed Whole Fish, Tunisian Sea Bass

lemon drop pepper, ginger, tamari; talking about value, you get the whole fish as your entree, and I suggest that if you are going with another person that one of you gets this and the other gets the Sturgeon and you share both; and this was my other favourite

or

East Coast Grilled Scallop

mole, radicchio pumpkin seeds

3rd Course DESSERTS

“Suspiro de Limena”

caramel pudding, meringue; WOW, WOW, WOW this one was my favourite

or

Poached Pear, coconut ice cream, maple almond, my 2nd favourite

or

Chocolate Hazelnut Tart
