Finest Tuna & pure Delight at FrischeParadies

*This post includes ad for FrischeParadies*

The invitation to the gourmet weekend at FrischeParadies in Frankfurt, focused on Southeast Asian cuisine, is something I don’t hesitate to accept—I’m in! Especially looking forward to the Finest Tuna & pure Delight at FrischeParadies, presented in impressive freshness and quality. The experience begins the moment I arrive, greeted with a refreshing glass of ILYS de Loire Crémant mixed with Yuzu Sake. The crisp bubbles and the citrusy touch of yuzu create a perfect first impression.

From that very first sip, I know this day will be special—filled with top-quality ingredients, exciting flavors, and many delicious surprises. I’m particularly looking forward to the incredible tuna, served at its freshest and best. With anticipation, I dive into a world of Southeast Asian delights, allowing the amazing dishes at FrischeParadies to inspire me.

AT THE GOURMET BISTRO OF FRISCHEPARADIES

FrischeParadies isn’t just a dream for food lovers—it also has a charming bistro where top-quality ingredients are transformed into incredible dishes. Before the event begins, my husband and I take a moment to indulge in a delicious meal here. A table reservation is a must, as this place is highly popular!

The experience starts with an unforgettable appetizer: fresh oysters that simply melt in your mouth, bursting with incredible freshness. They’re served with a tangy yuzu vinaigrette—so good, you’ll want to lick your fingers! But the real star of the meal is the main course—a stunning seafood platter featuring salmon, monkfish, redfish, and gurnard, all served in a rich and velvety truffle cream sauce. Every bite is a delight—tender, flavorful, and absolutely heavenly.

This dining experience completely wins us over and makes our visit to FrischeParadies truly unforgettable!

YELLOWFIN TUNA FILLETING

After our meal, it’s time for an impressive yellowfin tuna filleting demonstration. The 23 kg fish is expertly sliced into perfect fillets with absolute precision and skill. The fishmonger tells me that the heaviest tuna he has ever prepared weighed over 120 kg—an incredible feat of craftsmanship. It’s fascinating to watch how the tuna is transformed into flawless fillets, not only stunningly fresh but also remarkable in texture and color.

To top it off, we get to taste fresh tuna tartare—so fresh, it’s a rare treat. The tuna is tender and juicy, with a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the delicate flavors of spices and herbs. The experience continues with fresh sushi, a specially curated Asian menu at the bistro, and tasting stations featuring the finest ingredients from the Far East.

SASHIMI-QUALITY TUNA

To my delight, I get my hands on a beautiful piece of true sashimi-quality tuna—a rare treat you won’t find just anywhere. What makes this quality so special? The fish is so fresh that it’s perfect for raw preparations. Its texture is buttery-soft, packed with flavor, and incredibly juicy.

If you’ve never worked with sashimi-grade fish before, here’s a tip: the less you do, the better! Overcooking can ruin its exceptional texture. Whether enjoyed raw, as tartare, lightly seared, or as delicate carpaccio—this tuna shines best in its purest form.

ASIAN-STYLE PORK BELLY

Let’s head to the meat stand, where we’re in for a real treat. The pork belly is marinated in an Asian style for 24 hours and then perfectly grilled. The crispy skin combines beautifully with the tender, juicy meat, creating an unforgettable taste experience. The marinade, made with soy sauce, spices, and a touch of sweetness, gives the pork belly a rich and complex flavor. The mix of savory and sweet, along with the perfect balance between crispy and tender, makes this pork belly a truly memorable dish that will captivate your taste buds!

BRITTANY TRIP – EXPERIENCE THE FRESHNESS OF FISH

My trust in FrischeParadies isn’t without reason. I was lucky enough to travel to Brittany with them and experience firsthand how fish goes straight from the sea to our plates. You can read about my experience here.

Early in the morning, the fishing boats return to the harbor, their nets full. The catches are sorted and processed in no time. You can not only see this freshness but taste it too! This is the exact quality that FrischeParadies brings to Frankfurt. So, the next time you’re at the fish counter, you can be sure: the fish you’re buying was swimming in the sea just a few hours ago.

TOP QUALITY WITH CERTIFICATION

When you shop at FrischeParadies, you can be sure you’re getting only the best products – and with verified origins! The fish comes from sustainable sources and is certified with renowned quality seals. These include Label Rouge, Friends of the Sea, Iceland Responsible Fisheries, and the ASC and MSC seals for sustainable fishing and responsible aquaculture.

A special highlight is the QSFP products (Qualité Supérieure FrischeParadies) – an in-house premium line that guarantees the highest standards. Not only is exceptional freshness a priority, but also responsible sourcing and careful processing.

In addition to fish, there are also exclusive in-house brands offering exquisite delicacies: from fine oils to refined pâtés and high-quality meats. For those who value sustainable enjoyment, FrischeParadies also offers products with the FSC seal, ensuring eco-friendly packaging and sustainable wood and paper products.

GRILLED TUNA FOR NOWROOZ FEAST

I was inspired by all the delicious flavors and the fresh preparation, so for Nowrooz, I’ve reinterpreted tuna. For my Nowrooz celebration, I wanted to preserve the sashimi quality of the tuna. That’s why I marinated it lightly and then grilled it for exactly one minute on a hot grill. The extreme heat forms a delicate crust on the outside, while the inside stays raw and silky. It’s an absolute treat!

To go with it, I made traditional Sabzi Polo, a herb rice with fresh dill, coriander, and fenugreek leaves, filling the air with a fragrant aroma. It’s a perfect blend of Persian tradition and high-quality fish from FrischeParadies! I’ll be sharing more details about this soon.

If you’re looking for more inspiration, check out my blog! There, you’ll find several fish recipes that are perfect for Nowrooz and other special occasions.

A BIG THANK YOU TO FRISCHEPARADIES

I’d like to take a moment to give a heartfelt thank you to the team at FrischeParadies for inviting me to this special weekend of culinary delights! It was truly inspiring to witness the impressive tuna filleting live, discover new flavors, and connect with fellow food enthusiasts.
