We recently had the pleasure of dining at Samaka, and I must say, their fried Sea brim and shrimp is an absolute triumph. We had ordered it along with some fries and salad. From the moment these dishes arrived at the table, we were captivated by the fish’s golden, crispy exterior along with beautiful seasoning and the tantalizing aroma that wafted through the air.
The fish was perfectly fried to a delightful crunch, offering a satisfying contrast to its moist and flaky interior. Each bite revealed a symphony of flavors, enhanced by the delicate seasoning that brought out the natural sweetness of the fish without overpowering it. The accompanying lemon wedges added a zesty brightness, perfectly complementing the savory notes of the dish.
What truly sets this dish apart is the authenticity and care that goes into its preparation. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, as if it had just ben just caught that morning. We got to take part in choosing the exact fish we were going to eat. The attention to detail and dedication to using high-quality ingredients is evident and greatly appreciated.
The dish was accompanied by a selection of Mediterranean sides, including a vibrant and tangy tzatziki sauce, and a refreshing salad that provided a delightful counterbalance to the richness of the fried fish.
The service by Rafiq at Samaka was equally outstanding. Rafiq was very knowledgeable about the menu and eager to ensure a memorable dining experience. He was attentive to detail, ensured our fish was served to perfection and very welcoming. He always asked how we were doing or if we needed anything. He disinfected the table quickly and service was prompt.
In summary, the Mediterranean fried fish at Samaka is a must-try. It's a beautifully executed dish that showcases the best of Mediterranean cuisine, leaving you with a longing to return for more. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in a delicious and authentic culinary experience.
