Delicious flavour, firm texture, delicate aroma and a large amount of protein and beneficial nutrients such as Omega-3. Eating fresh fish at Ses Oliveres is a great proposition, and one of the most recommended options in all healthy diets.
Nutritionally, fresh fish represents a treasure trove of health benefits. It is an incomparable source of high quality proteins, omega-3 fatty acids and essential minerals.
At Ses Oliveres, every cut, every preparation respects these nutritional qualities, offering dishes that not only delight the palate, but also nourish the body in a holistic way.
In the fish display of our restaurant in the port of Sóller, diners can choose the piece they wish to taste but also the way they want it to be cooked. If in doubt, our waiters are always on hand to give advice or help in the case of undecided customers.
Fresh fish and ways of cooking it at Ses Oliveres
We love to know each species, what is its season and optimum time of capture and, especially, what is the best technique to enhance its natural flavour.
Gentle cooking, such as grilling, preserves the delicacy of the fish, while honeyed or dry rice dishes bring out its flavour, while the oven is reserved for other products such as cod, which you can find on our menu and which we prepare with aioli.
Whenever we can, we like to prepare suggestions of the day or of the week, either with fried caprroig with onion rings and potatoes, grilled monkfish or baked in the oven.
This fish is known for its firm flesh and creamy consistency, and lends itself admirably to more elaborate preparations to transform it into an elegant and sophisticated dish.
Sea bream and other pieces
Sea bream is superb when salted, a traditional method that creates a crust that completely seals the fish, preserving all its natural moisture and flavour. When this salt crust is broken, a tender, juicy fish emerges, with an intense marine flavour.
As for sea bass, with its delicate flesh, it is spectacular grilled with a simple dressing of extra virgin olive oil, lemon and fresh herbs. It can also be prepared in more complex ways, which you can try at Ses Oliveres.
The scorpion fish, or caproig, has a firm texture that is ideal for stews and casseroles. Its intense flavour makes it the star of traditional fishermen’s dishes, where it is combined with potatoes, saffron and a fried onion and tomato sauce.
And the John Dory, with its delicate white flesh, is perfect for gentle cooking. Steaming it with seasonal vegetables or cooking it en papillote with aromatic herbs brings out its subtle flavour and delicate texture.
Respect for nature
Sustainability is another fundamental pillar of Ses Oliveres’ philosophy. It is not only about serving fresh fish, but also about serving it responsibly.
Suppliers are carefully selected, prioritising those that respect reproduction cycles, use responsible fishing techniques and maintain the balance of the marine ecosystem.
Every fish that arrives at the restaurant is not only fresh, but represents a commitment, as far as possible, to the preservation of marine resources.
At Ses Oliveres, eating fresh fish is not a luxury, it is a right, a celebration and a tribute to nature in its maximum gastronomic expression. Are you coming to enjoy it? Make a booking.
