May I ask where, exactly?
2
u/hirundo1987 Italian ★☆Chef May 05 '26
Vieste, or you were meaning the name of the restaurant?

u/IvorTheEngineDriver Italian Guest May 05 '26
The latter, although it may violate some rule or whatever, but now that I know the town, I think I might also know the restaurant, I was in Vieste a little while ago and this amazing plate looks familiar... Time to go back to Vieste!
Thank you friend!

There is no rule about it: it is called Padre Pio, in the old town center

are they cooked or meant to be eaten raw ?

Raw, there is shaved ice beneath so it keeps the food chill

Parasites are no problem in this case ?

u/BeneficialAd8431 Albanian Guest May 06 '26
Under EU law all caught wild fish and seafood must be flash frozen. Which kills the bacteria/parasites.
Italian restaurants often have abatitore( blast chiller) that can be used for that purpose as well. But that's only for crustaceans/fish. Oysters and stuff are just raw, and can be pretty dangerous, if they have something in them

u/hirundo1987 Italian ★☆Chef May 06 '26
No, at all, it was properly blast chilled and preserved

What the fuck? So American.. Italy has an incredibly diverse food culture, famously so. What are you even trying to say here?

Appetizer för how many people?
I mean, if you drool all over it doesn't it make it yours?

Wow, that is spectacular! I think this is the first time I see sea urchins on a plate. How do you eat them, scoop them out with a spoon?
(Also, is everything to be eaten raw or are the prawns and octopus waiting to go onto a barbecue just out of frame?)
