Ses Oliveres is located in the heart of Port de Sóller, an idyllic place where we have the privilege of working with fresh and quality ingredients, such as the Gall de Sant Pere, scientifically known as Zeus Faber.
This fish, originally from the Mediterranean, is famous for its unique flavor, its tender meat and its nutritional properties. Today we want to tell you why the Gall de Sant Pere is so special, explore its health benefits and explain why its preparation fried with onion, also fried, is a culinary experience hard to beat.
Nutritional characteristics of the Gall de Sant Pere
Gall de Sant Pere not only stands out for its flavor, but also for being a highly nutritious food. It is an excellent source of lean proteins, which makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a balanced diet. Among its nutritional values, we find:
– Proteins: about 18 grams per 100 grams, essential for the maintenance and repair of tissues.
– Healthy fats: it contains less than 1 gram of fat per 100 grams, mostly unsaturated, ideal for the heart.
– Omega-3: although not in large quantities, it provides this fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation and protect the cardiovascular system.
– Vitamins and minerals: it is rich in vitamin B12, which supports the health of the nervous system, and selenium, an antioxidant that protects cells from damage. It also contains phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, essential for energy balance and muscle health.
Thanks to these properties, Gall de Sant Pere is perfect for those who want to enjoy a healthy meal without giving up the pleasure of good taste.
Fried with onion, the best Rooster of St. Peter in Ses Oliveres
At Ses Oliveres, we prepare the Gall de Sant Pere following a recipe that highlights its natural flavor: we fry it to perfection and accompany it with onion. Frying, when done properly, seals the juices of the fish, ensuring a juicy texture and a slightly crispy outer layer.
For its part, the onion provides a sweet balance that contrasts beautifully with the delicacy of the fish. This pairing is not only a delight for the palate, but also a traditional way of preparing this delicacy in Mallorca, where simple and authentic recipes are the protagonists.
Other ways to enjoy Gall de Sant Pere
Although fried is one of the most popular ways, this versatile fish lends itself to many preparations, as you can see in our menu. Among them:
1. Grilled: ideal to enhance its natural flavor with a touch of olive oil and lemon.
2. Baked: with Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary, thyme and garlic, for a light and aromatic dish.
3.In caldereta: a classic of Balearic cuisine, where it is slow-cooked with seafood, potatoes and broth.
Each preparation has its charm, but few reach the combination of textures and flavors of the fried Gall de Sant Pere with caramelized onion.
