Chef Benny Doro

Ok well how do I tell this tail of an amazing adventure that was lead by a great Serbian now turned Montinegrin...Marko. Well I do it like this come along as I take you to one of the most magical and great seafood lunch expereinces I have had in some time and the company sure had a lot to do with it.

Here we are walking into what looks like a fun house ride at Six Flags but alase it is not. In fact what you are seeing is very real and I am sure there have been many movies idea sets inspired from the likes of this place.

some intereior shots stay with me here

This is my friend Marko saying "and over here they put this!"

it's almost like your in a movie don't worry we will get to the food

My dear Watson.......uh never mind yes Marko I like this shot too

ok we sit down Marko says no Menu the menu will come on a plater and he was not kidding. This was all caught in the night and we choose Sea Bass or a form of it there are many varieties.

the menu is hand written and looks like it has not been changed for years. I did look around an NO ONE was using one to order the waiter said we have this and that and that was all that needed to be said.

Bread, lemons and hot peppers arrive

How do I explain this I ask myself. This is the seafood soup, it is made fresh everyday with what was probbaly left over fish collar and scraps of fish flesh but holy God was this just tasting of the sea and was served from traditional pot by the server which you will see in next photo.

This was the pot it was served from and the server leaves a little left for whoever desired a few extra spoonfulls

Here arrives what would be our starter and man, it was fresh octopus, shrimp, muscles and yes as strange as it seems Pollock of FAKE CRAB. Now for whatever reason it just seem to be ok to have this and with the great olive oil local press, lemon and hot peppers this was just friggin heavan. I think it was about this time Marko said "my favorite time is to come here in the summer, sit and do nothing all day" I can see it Marko as long as I have my Blackberry we can do this.

Oh did we order something? Why yes we did our fish has arrived with the roe also cooked as well as some sides all together. Amazing!

Here is the fish cleaned and plated with blitva greens, garlic potato, fish roe all finished with olive oil and lemon it was heaven! The skin was crispy the fish roe was just salty enough and you could taste that water it was swimming in really really loved it.

We did not order this but it arrived was on the house and was great. Perfect crepe with some cocolate and crushed nuts didnt suck and just showed me how much this place really cared about your time here service was classic and everyone was very proud of the food and being the best in service.

I am going to leave you with a picture of the chef who prepared our food. Never went to culinary school, probably saw this food cooked all her life at home and it is almost a birthright instinct. She was proud to have her picture taken and in fact the owners invited me into the kitchen. I had the posed picture with her but somehow this one just said it all. I know when our food arrived that someone really really cared about what they were doing and that we had a great meal.

Thank you to Marko and Lilly as alwasy.
