Founder Peppe Corsaro comments :
“ My fondest memories of growing up in Sicily are the beach days with my family followed by aperitivo , feasting on the best catch of the day , plenty of wine and a fully loaded panino . Fish & Bubbles brings an authentic yet fresh take on the iconic Italian sandwich , using Italian fish recipes passed down through generations and adding quality ingredients into a traditional Rosetta bun for a bite like no other ! There will also be fritto misto boards , homemade infused negronis and Italian wine served throughout the day and into the evening – we look forward to bringing a touch of Italian coastal culture to London .”
Unique-to-London , the “ panino di mare ” menu features a traditional freshly baked Italian rosetta bun generously stuffed with impeccably sourced fish and seafood fillings based on authentic dishes from Polp Fiction – slow-cooked octopus in a rustic Apulian tomato & basil sauce , fried crisps , nduja and mascarpone mayo (£ 16.50 ) – to Tuna Turner – cacio e pepe basil cream , tuna tartare , courgettes , roasted tomatoes , stracciatella and rocket (£ 14 ). Other dishes include a raft of crudi di mare such as salmon and tuna tartare as well as the caviar of shrimps , Gambero Rosso , plus a selection of fritto misto alongside creative Italian takes on poke bowls .
Sharing boards , for a minimum of two dinners (£ 18pp ), include the Fritto Misto Al Metro , featuring fried seafood by the meter and fish served by the metre on a long wooden board . Sharing boards can be enjoyed with a glass of prosecco or a negroni for just £ 18 per person from 12pm to 7pm daily .
The bar menu features aged negronis , Hugo and Aperol spritzes and an exclusively Italian wine list with bubbles , reds , whites and rosé .
