Snail Caviar

We wanted to add some depth to the blue cod dish by echoing flavors of earth, soil, rain, oak leaves, moss and overall terroir of the forest. I cannot think of a more amazing product that exudes all of these flavors in one bite other than snail caviar. It is earthy, dirty, raw and in your face with the forest floor. Brilliant!

Blue Cod, Carrot, Fennel, Quince, Snail Caviar

Blue Cod from the Pacific Northwest is lightly cured with a mixture of sea salt, sugar and lemon zest. We rinse and dry the cod, place it in to a sous vide bag with a little Olio Verde and poach the cod at 122F for 12-15 minutes. Then, we chill and flake the fish into large pieces.
