Lesley’s Fijian Fish Curry Arrabiata 🍝
Using South Island Scampi we deglaze the heads to make a fish curry foam incorporating flavours of red chilli, tomato and coconut.
We then cook the scampi meat in the pan and combine it with our house made handkerchief pasta, and finish with our Fish Curry Arrabiata foam 🦐
This has been a huge hit since it landed on the menu, be sure to call in and check it out!
