As the warmer weather approaches Basque Tapas and wine is be focusing on fresh seafood and this is something the Spanish do best considering that Spain is surrounded on three sides by water – the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Cantabric Sea to the north and the Mediterranean Sea to the east.
Basques have long looked to the nearby sea for sustenance; everything from the famous turbot to lowly but succulent sardines and anchovies), salt cod, bacalao, is also popular—it was, Basque fishermen, Basque who sought cod on the Grand Banks long before Columbus set sail. But Basque seafood can also be delicately prepared, as in various techniques that involve swirling the cooking pan to create a delicate sauce.
To appreciate the combination of Australia’s best seafood and our talented chef Basque tapas and wine is having oyster nights.
