5 things we want to eat in Dublin this week

Summer sun means seafood spectaculars all round, and all we want this week are seafood crudo, sparkling cod, and lobster rolls. If you're similarly minded, read on for the five things we most want to eat in Dublin this week...

1) Seabass crudo with cucumber aguachile, Mister S

This seabass crudo with cucumber aguachile and dill oil hit the Mister S menu a few weeks ago, beautifully timed with last week's heatwave. There's another hot spell en route later this week if you want to feel smug about having this in your future.

2) Lobster Roll, Peploe's

We're with you Peploe's, lobster season is our favourite time of the year too. They dress their fresh as it gets Irish lobster in lime & dill mayo, and serve it in a homemade brioche bun with saffron, pickled cucumber and royal Belgian caviar, for the most flamboyant version in the capital right now.

3) Sesame seed prawn toast, Hawker

There's no bad time of the year for Hawker's sesame seed prawn toast, but there's something about shellfish in summer that hits particularly sweet. They recommend it for a hangover, we recommend it for any 'ol time you like, and dip big into that yuzu mayo on the side.

4) Cod with turbot roe and lemon balm sauce, Forest Avenue

Cod gets a bad rap for being a bit dullsville, but nothing coming out of Forest Avenue could ever be tarred with such a brush. Case in point this stunning whiter than white specimen in a sauce of turbot roe and lemon balm. It's practically glistening.

5) Zuppa di pesce, DIMMI

While summer doesn't scream soup weather, we're giving DIMMI in Dundrum a pass for this loaded Zuppa di Pesce with hake, mussels, prawns and calamari, topped with gremolata. All the citrusy, summery flavours in one bowl, dip that sourdough and get it into you.
