Mr. Jaume’s fried John Dory with garlic and white prawns from Ciutadella

Mr. Jaume’s fried John Dory with garlic and white prawns from Ciutadella has the discreet solemnity of great seafood dishes: it arrives on a platter, golden and fragrant, with the sheen of perfectly handled fish and the white prawns adding sweetness, a salty touch and a sense of celebration.

The John Dory, caught in Menorca and weighing 1.5 kilos, was cooked with an excellence that needs no artifice: perfectly fried, with white, succulent flesh, crispy skin and sliced garlic that gives the dish its unmistakable identity. The green peppers, roasted tomato and lemon add Mediterranean character without distracting from the main ingredient.

At Mr. Jaume, in the marina of Cala en Bosch, seafood cuisine is not a trend, it is heritage: a family-run restaurant with more than 30 years of experience, recognised as one of Menorca’s great temples of seafood. A benchmark to return to when looking for quality produce, good value for money and service that makes you feel even better than at home.
