$225 Massive ROYAL SEAFOOD PLATTER in Copenhagen, Denmark!

good morning hope you're having an

amazing day at smart Queens I'm in

Copenhagen Denmark today we are focusing

on Danish seafood and if you look at a

map of Denmark they'll just see that

there's so much coastline there's so

many bays and inlets of water and so

seafood and fish have always been a huge

part of Danish culture and food culture

and we're gonna eat some amazing seafood

incapable Copenhagen today but before we

get started it's about 8:00 a.m. this

morning we drove out to a harbour which

is called Vil King Harbor I believe

we're gonna meet up with a fisherman

we're gonna see his fresh catch of the

day and then we'll be eating seafood

after that weather is definitely not on

our side today but Espen was telling me

now I can introduce everybody to typical

Danish weather cloudy

Farini drizzling very cold but we're

gonna make the most of it we just met a

fisherman his he's already docked and

he's unloading the catch so are you out

all night

yeah you're out what time 1:00 a.m. okay

and then come back my runs out seven

okay

what type of fish is this this is cut

oh nice

that's trout well yeah so the fresh

catch a lot of this right here is Cod

from the boat it into its to weigh them

puts them into trays with ice could go

immediately onto ice kept fresh there's

a really good looking fish a couple

chops for the day big scale is a big

huge trout well I can't wait to eat

seafood yeah you know as soon as Connie

spen is gonna be cooking us a dinner in

a few days from now which will be in a

different video but he's buying a cod

for that dinner this was fantastic to

see the fresh catch and yeah to see some

of the Danish seafood production in the

waters

it's still raining pretty hard but we

are back in Copenhagen and we're

stopping at the Meatpacking District

because we need a coffee

I got a my standard double americano yes

oh that's a good coffee that is

necessary have been waiting for this all

morning long thank you thank you very

much thank you

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Meatpacking District the former

Meatpacking District of Copenhagen and I

like how they still like routines I mean

all over Denmark all over Copenhagen

what they've done is they've retained a

lot of the industrial buildings and

although they've been repurposed you

still see the history you still have the

the character we're gonna stop by a

restaurant called fiscal bar which is

kind of a modern style seafood

restaurant but people highly recommend

it it looks really good it's a really

big really spacious kitchen we're just

gonna kind of walk around the kitchen

and see some of the seafood that they're

preparing this is where they execute all

the food okay this is this is the pastry

section this is our brand station

smaller courses come from warm starters

big fish come from the bigger place of

food here and then it all gets plated at

the front

and then this is where we this is the

hotel food right this is the live

seafood tank sea cucumbers there's some

shells there's some sea urchins and then

some of the Danish lobsters okay and

then out at the front which is like the

bar with it like facing the seating

second this is the rock our segment -

all of the raw seafood is prepared here

is assembled here and it's such like

beautiful plating all done all the

different seafoods

gorgeous we're starting off with a point

of Danish oysters and it's just so

beautiful I love that presentation on

the rocks and served in the center is a

like an apple vinegar they looks so good

okay the last one

I can't boy this is already loosen but

I'm just going to use the fork to like

push it into my mouth yeah

wow that's incredible that is just boy

stirs really are appear representation

of the sea the quality of the sea now

she's like seafoody but neutral tasting

at the same time you taste the salt

water and then just with that the the

vinegar is mellow and kind of fruity and

it just complements that saltiness so as

it has been it was very nice

very fresh you get the sea taste

Danish what's the name of the Danish

oyster it's called early Jewish origins

yes yeah that's a beautiful like a slice

of bread and then kind of like a whipped

butter I believe like so crispy so

fluffy on the inside and then that

whipped butter is kind of like herb I

believe

next dish we have is their fish and

chips and this is cod fish so this is

the fish that we've been seeing all

morning long I'm sure this is as fresh

as possible with some of our little bit

of a hanger ultra fresh cod fish and

that's like what it comes down to and

then as we were tasting the cod fish the

fish and chips he brought out a couple

more dishes and those are like two of

the most beautiful seafood dishes I've

seen this one is I believe a like a

smoked fish which has then been like at

first I thought was scallops because of

the thin slices and their circular shape

how about I spend it and rolled up

there's all sorts of just gorgeous

garnishing 's on it they make sure you

get everything on one bite like all the

ingredients so that you're not like

hunting around for ingredient so sort of

the idea behind smoked here for as well

[Music]

it's unbelievable the smokiness of that

fish the kind of like creamy sauce the I

believe like pickled shallots that's a

red moon because it has that little bite

of flavor that tastes as good as it

looks

okay next dish it's on a smoked Pike

perch arranged in such an artful form

with beetroot tartare around the outside

and some flowers and I believe mustard

seed as well

yeah I'll start from this maybe this

side right here this is one of those

dishes that's almost too beautiful to

eat but almost is a key word

[Music]

like the sweetness of the beetroot and

then that fish has a total different

texture from the other fish less of a

smoky case but like well like slightly

herbaceous you've got the the flowers

and just the accents of herbs in there

and the mustard seed the crunch of the

mustard seed

a couple of the kind of like main course

dishes have arrived one it looks like

like noodles almost but it's strands of

squid and radish and then the tableside

you Florida on some chicken mooing sauce

what an awesome combination and then the

other one is flounder a fillet a

flounder which has been seared off with

some vegetables and leek I believe as

you tear into into that like kind of

like the the juices start flowing and

like different colors come out it's very

juicy

Wow

[Music]

that's how it's standing all the squid

is just like

it's like the texture of noodles it's so

soft then you taste like the essence of

the chicken from that that broth sauce

and then just like broken up with maybe

some shallots or some onions

that's extraordinary actually yeah this

one is the flounder

[Applause]

well click so

again the freshness of the fish the

texture is what you notice because of

how how fresh it is

and then that's kind of an herbal sauce

I love the week in there and kind of

like a little bit of a creaminess to it

as well

[Music]

[Applause]

oh yeah good news like the weather has

cleared it's not raining anymore it is

not as cold as before and this is great

news because of the next place that

we're going on this this Copenhagen

Danish seafood tour which is I think

it's gonna be outdoors well this is

perfect

gives tours around Copenhagen especially

on bicycle but focusing on seafood which

he cooks and prepares from his bicycle

his concept is often cycling around with

groups and then stopping places

gathering ingredients and then just

setting up the kitchen on spot cooking

take a little walk down and actually

mussels per year they could yes
