Menu The Word Ocean Day Mackerel with cucumber, fennel and radish Scomber scombrus Olympiada mussels* steamed with assyrtiko wine and thyme
(*Olympiada is famous for its mussels’ production. The clean water of Strimonikos gulf, the Aristotelian Mountain with the rich vegetation, the virgin environment, the content of the sea water make the Olympiada mussels delicious, big, heavy, strong and healthy)
Mytilus chilensis Skipjack tuna** with warm potato salad, Chalkidiki green olives and capers
(**The fish and the seafood of Mount Athos are renowned for their exquisite flavor. The reason they are so different from the rest is that the waters of the bay are deep and clean, as the area has many sea currents and there are no organized cultivations to affect it. Thus, our seafood is caught in very deep waters, with the highest salinity in Greece, and rich in plankton and clean food, since no rivers or streams end up in the bay to disturb the balance of the water composition)

It is renowned for its beneficial properties for health as it protects against many dangerous diseases. It is low in calories, boosts the body, helps bowel function etc. In recent years, it has been gaining ever-growing popularity, as numerous studies show that residents of Mediterranean regions live longer and suffer from diseases due to poor nutrition much less than Americans and northern Europeans.
