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 yes clear weather I looked like it wasn't even going clear at all today oh this is good news okay so we drove over to the harbor we are waterside and I'm not totally sure of his full story but I know that he gives tours around Copenhagen especially on bicycle but focusing on seafood which he cooks and prepares from his bicycle hello mark nice to meet you his whole his concept is often cycling around with groups and then stopping places gathering ingredients and then just setting up the kitchen on spot cooking on spot so I'm excited for what he's gonna do okay so first actually we're gonna just take a little walk down and actually this is like a it's like a urban farm of shellfish yes okay it is right and it's amazing that the I mean the waters are so clean right in Copenhagen this is Sam whines growing as you can see here this is like a rope with baby muscles okay that have been here since this spring so

completely sustainable and just they're encouraging seafood growth in a completely organic way and just the the way they were explaining that it's a hanging seafood garden and just in that amount of space they can produce a thousand tons of mussels per year they could yes man these guys are just so cool again they just love what they're doing they're having so much fun at the same time and they
