Fresh Fish!

Wesley Ridge Retirement Community attempted what was thought to be impossible. Three whole, 30 inch fresh Striped Sea Bass were baked and carved for the residents of Parkside. The fish, originally from the Pacific, made their way to Columbus Ohio for this amazing presentation. They were baked whole after being seasoned with salt and pepper, stuffed with fresh parsley and lemons, and drizzled with olive oil.

One fish was displayed at a time on a bed of italian ruscus. They were able to "carve" the fish in the dining room, getting 24 portions per fish. The fish was served with an arugula salad dressed with a gremolata vinaigrette, tomatoes provencal, and garnished with herbed toast points.










The residents of Parkside made the comment that they felt like they were at the sea shore or on a cruise!
