Summer fish crudo
Summer fish crudo is the perfect way to enjoy fresh local fish! The word Crudo in Italian translates to ‘raw’ – so there’s no need to whip out the frying pan, as the lemon juice will simply "cook" the fish for you. This dish is a total showstopper and the epitome of hassle-free alfresco dining!
