The taste of what we overlook: a Nordic dashi

Sometimes the most extraordinary things are born from what we overlook.

This dish is an example of how so-called waste can be transformed into the true protagonist. Using cod heads and bones, a Nordic dashi is created which, through precise extraction, becomes a clean, delicate jelly full of depth.

It is finished with raw prawns, oyster emulsion, and elderflower vinegar, elements that bring freshness, intensity, and balance. The result captures the essence of the surroundings, reflecting the natural richness of the fauna and flora around us.

Beyond flavor, this proposal aims to build a bridge toward a more conscious cuisine, where every ingredient is fully valued and by-products find a new life as symbols of identity and sustainability.
