Scorpion fish & sea air - with the catch of the day on the grill
Out to sea on a fishing boat, past Gozo's rugged coastline - the scorpion fish is the catch of the day. A secret recipe is revealed in the kitchen of Il Kartell before Olaf returns to the harbor grill. Reduced, fresh and seasoned with wild fennel - this is what the sea tastes like in Malta.
Three courses Malta - straight from the grill
Inspired by local ingredients, traditional craftsmanship and a passion for barbecuing - interpreted in a modern way, directly on the MONOLITH ICON.
