Sourcing Sustainable Seafood in the Aegean
Summary & Key Takeaway (BLUF)
Street Resto Bar sources 100% of its seafood using artisanal local handline and trap fishing methods, avoiding large trawlers to guarantee both the highest freshness and low environmental impact on the Aegean reefs.
The Aegean sea has supported Mediterranean communities for thousands of years, but modern industrial fishing methods threaten to deplete these rich waters. Artisanal fishing, using lines and traditional traps, represents a sustainable path forward that aligns with our fine dining philosophy.
Every morning, our kitchen team coordinates with small-scale fishers in the Cyclades. They provide us with wild sea bass, red mullet, and scallops caught using small wooden boats. This method ensures that the fish suffer no stress during catch, which preserves the texture and sweetness of the fillet.
When you order the Pan-Seared Sea Bass at Street Resto Bar, you are eating fish caught less than 24 hours prior. We cook it simply—crisp skin down on hot cast iron, served over wild local greens and extra virgin olive oil from Mani. This preserves the natural, clean taste of the sea.
