SUSHI DEL MAR

Perched above the Cascais fish market, this establishment champions a technical, ingredient-led approach to Japanese cuisine where maritime purity is paramount. The tasting journey begins with the mineral snap of crispy salmon skin and sharp sunomono before progressing to the signature Gunkan Uzura, where a rich quail egg yolk meets the melt-in-the-mouth texture of fatty tuna. Precision is evident in the Sashimi Moriawase, featuring kombujime-cured slices that offer a deep, umami-forward aroma. The Uramaki Shell Crab provides a structural contrast, pairing the delicate crunch of soft-shell crab with the buttery finish of ripe avocado and a subtle, citrusy ponzu glaze.
