Shaken not stirred Forever Oceans™ Kanpachi (Amberjack) Martini Appetizer

With the release of the new James Bond movie “No Time To Die” I thought it might be a nice tribute to the amazing Daniel Craig in his final Bond movie to make a Forever Oceans™ Kanpachi (Amberjack) martini, shaken not stirred of course.

This might seem a strange amalgamation of flavors? But, while making dinner the other night, and having a martini, I thought let’s combine the two and see how it turns out. The combination of the buttery raw Forever Oceans™ Kanpachi (Amberjack) with the alcohol and spices (like juniper berries) from the gin, the bitters from the vermouth, begin a new dimension that literally explodes in your mouth exciting your taste buds with sheer delight. Add the traditional olives, some lemon segments, maybe a few slices of fennel and cucumber and you have the most amazing appetizer that comes perfectly together like a Cubby Broccoli 007 movie.. And just like the Ian Fleming books, you won’t be able to stop at one bite, you’ll have to devour it all.
