Sustainable fish

On the current Menu du Chef, Raoul has chosen for the Hamachi as a starter. This fish, better known as the Dutch Yellowtail, is farmed by Kingfish Zeeland. This farm is located on the Eastern Scheldt (Dutch: Oosterschelde), which is a former estuary in the province of Zeeland. The Dutch Yellowtails are farmed in clear seawater in the unspoiled nature of the reserve. The fishes have a good appetite and they grow in a healthy manner. The Dutch Yellowtail gets all his nutrients out of the water from the Eastern Scheldt. With assistance from advanced and sustainable technology and with more than 30 years of practical experience in sea fish farming, Kingfish Zeeland delivers a unique and pure fish. Besides the fact that the Hamachi is very tasty, this way of farming is very sustainable; maximum use of naturel sources, as little waste as possible, by using seawater no drink water is wasted and the favorable climate prevents water pollution, parasites and algal blooms.

Together with the Hamachi, Raoul serves sustainably caught ‘Zeeuwse’ mussels, again originated from the beautiful province of Zeeland. These mussels are crowned with the Marine Stewardship Council quality mark, a non-profit organization who is committed to end overfishing around the world. Accompanying the seafood, we serve green peppers and radish originating from the Westland, a municipality in the west of the Netherlands. We serve these vegetables in various ways. The green peppers are used in a Mole Verde and the radishes give the dish a fresh bite.
