The fish was perfectly cooked, but overall the dish was extremely bland.

I feel like you’d want to use a hot honey, or mix in some chile crunch or something to give it more flavor.

Is this part of an 8 course tasting menu? If not why are they serving such awful portions sizes

Bug spit covered fish looks and sounds fucking gross. Imma pass on all that. Thank you.

This is one of the least offensive things I’ve seen on this sub

Do they reuse the beeswax?

I’m not saying it’s not stupid, but it’s the kind of stupid where a chef I trust could explain some kind of benefit of it and I’d change my mind.

Char looks a little opaque, but the plating presentation and use of ingredients looks amazing

Even if you’re going to cook it in beeswax why would you not season it Dx
Beeswax doesn’t exactly have overwhelming flavor

An under seasoned piece of fish is disappointing, not stupid.

Yeah looks like it could definitely use a slice of lemon and some fresh cracked pepper

Hardened bee ejaculation, yes. That pig bladder I saw earlier, no.

Another example of: just because you can, doesn’t mean you should, from the genius idiots from the high end resteraunt business.

I was looking for the Red Comet, but all I got was food.

Ok, I’m all for novel cooking techniques but
1) A piece of unseasoned fish probably isn’t going to be restaurant quality unless it’s sushi. This looks plain to the point of incomplete.
2) The cook. This fish looks white on the bottom and uncooked on top.
3) The why. What does this accomplish? Not a criticism so much as a curiosity. Does the wax impact the flavor? Texture? Is it indicative of a lesser known/underrepresented technique? What’s the point beyond “hey y’all, we cooked this fish in something non traditional.”?
All in all, it’s one of the blandest looking pieces of fish with some cleaver plating I’ve ever seen.
