  • Providence is a Michelin-starred seafood restaurant that receives about 300 pounds of sustainable fish a day. Chef Michael Cimarusti only uses sustainable seafood for his seasonal tasting menu which starts at $240. We visited Providence to learn more about sustainable seafood and tried its tasting menu to see if it's worth the price.

    By the comments, the video should have shown the entire menu, not just two dishes. For some reason I seem to be the only one who understood the tasting menu isn't just two courses.

      +Gabriel Martins Well, many people have never gone to a restaurant like this and eaten a tasting menu... so they assume based on what they see... I agree that they should have shown everything.

      The $240 tasting menu is actually a Chef's menu comprised of over 11 dishes, but it's the quality of the ingredients they use from how sustainable they are to the incredible taste compared to just regular fish from a super market. Also, there's basically unlimited 3 different in-house baked breads (brioche, rolls, and nori focaccia) with world class butter and salt from France. While it may seem like you only eat two bites of fish with a leaf for 240 bucks, you'll probably come out of the place more full than you've ever been.

    I recently went to Providence and had this $240 tasting menu. The menu itself is 11 courses but with all the amuse bouches in the beginning plus unlimited bread with the best kelp butter ever plus special extra dessert treats at the end of the meal, it's closer to a 20-21 course meal. Extremely well worth the money for those that have doubts and you will also be pretty full for sure even for a guy.

    This year I plan on smoking about 50 Sockeye and 20 Coho. I made squaw candy from a few Coho as well.
    Cut the salmon in thin strips and soak it in pineapple juice and brown sugar.
    Smoke the strips in alder. It tastes so so good 😊

      This is too expensive for me too but... the fact that the fish is "uncooked" makes it more expensive.
      The fish has to be super fresh and prepared in a special way as it is raw.
      Anyone could prepare cooked fish using any frozen fish from the supermarket.

    Providence is not a true Michelin-Star restaurant. Michelin pulled out of LA a long time ago and Providence wasn’t re-rated. You don’t keep your stars for life. If they were re-rated they would lose the stars. I have eaten there multiple times, and they are far from the best. Nobu in Newport is much more delicious.

I know the “ yellow tail” is know as a rainbow fish search it up and the biggest yellow tail I’ve very seen was 15 inches which is a monster and the “yellow tail” in your vid was close to 33 inches so and you can tell by the meat by how the meat at the tint of brown if it was out in ice for the good amount of time and by that meaning the whole fish of the meat was very fresh the meat would be white accept the blood line on that piece of fish you could see that little line which is more of a fishy taste as it is the blood of the fish and the top of the line restaurants in sushi or filets they take it out
