The experience unfolds as an interactive masterclass where history meets the plate. You will uncover the 3,000-year-old secrets of the Almadraba, a sustainable fishing tradition passed down from Phoenician and Roman times. The centerpiece of the activity is a curated gourmet tasting of various premium raw cuts. As you sample everything from the delicate, lean sections to the rich, buttery textures of the marbled belly, our chefs will explain the unique biological properties and culinary transformations of each piece.
