Seafood Week At Tamarind

 

Michelin starred restaurant Tamarind in London's Mayfair will be celebrating National Seafood Week from 6 tp 13 October with a delectable seafood menu, including some exciting new dishes from its renowned executive chef Alfred Prasad.

Alfred has created five new dishes especially for this week-long celebration of nature's most nutritious and low fat food, including Grilled Salmon with Lime-leaf and Coriander - a fragrantly succulent dish that melts in the mouth due to its unique marinade.

Alfred has also put his inimitable take upon the preparation of New Zealand green-lipped mussels, the world's finest, steaming them in anexotic blend of Far Eastern herbs and spices. He has devised a mouth-watering new kind of prawn curry recipe, based on the rich coconut-based curries of his native Kerala, in southern India.

Alfred says: "People don't tend to associate seafood with Indian cuisine, but fish is one of the staple foods of southern India - its cuisine includes an expansive array of delicious seafood dishes. With our special new menu for National Seafood Week I hope to make people aware of the wonderful variety of taste combinations utilised in Indian seafood cookery and to show them how the light saltiness of sea produce can be enlivened with a range of Asian herbs and spices."
