Bottarga is an interesting product originally hailing from Calabria but there are versions of it around Southern Italy. It is the salted and then wind dried roe from mullets or tuna. Once it’s dried, it’s wrapped in wax to preserve it. Its used as a sort of condiment, finely grated into pastas, salads and in this example grated over the crudo to add a sweet-salty-umami depth. It’s utterly delicious and available from all good Italian delis.
2 fillets of sea bass, skinned and cut into 1cm slices
1 ripe peach, halved, stoned removed and cut into 1 cm dice
1 tsp finely grated bottarga
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chardonnay vinegar
6 sprigs of marjoram, leaves picked
sea salt and black pepper
Place the bass slices in a bowl and season well.
Lightly crush the peach dice in a bowl along with their juices and sea bass slices. You want the juices to marinate the fish. Give the bass a stir to incorporate and then leave for 10 minutes to cure.
Whisk together the olive oil and vinegar and season well.
To serve lay the slices of bass out onto plates, drizzle over a little of the vinaigrette and then top with the peach, marjoram leaves and sprinkle over the bottarga. Serve.
Extra, extra — this year’s olive oil is in. Hand-picked in Tuscany, pressed within hours and now pouring at your local Cubitt House pub. Used across our seasonal dishes and available to buy in-house, it’s well worth a taste.
We’re thrilled to be back at the @alfreddunhillpadelclassic for a second year with a Mediterranean-inspired menu cooked over an open fire. Think Grilled Prawns, Lamb Chops with Salsa Verde and more, all served up by @ben.tish and the Cubitt House team.
Proud to be part of a world-class padel tournament that champions great food, great sport and a great cause, supporting Laureus Sport for Good at the Hurlingham Club.

The forecast? Sticky toffee, all year round. Some dishes are seasonal. For us this one’s just essential.
This one’s a postcard from Sicily. Grilled tuna, courgettes, lemon and coriander seeds.
Simple, seasonal and smoky from the grill. Inspired by spring on the island of Favignana.
