Sublime Seafood at Sepia

Seafood giant George Costi, the head of De Costi Seafoods, has opened a brand new restaurant in Sydney. It’s called Sepia, and you might imagine there’s plenty of the sea’s greatest jewels on offer.

The menu includes an array of tempting marine fodder, such as spanner crab and buckwheat risotto, confit of ocean trout with braised chestnut mushrooms, and oysters by the dozen.

Chef Martin Benn is a student of the acclaimed Tetsuya Wakuda, so as you’d expect, he knows his stuff. He also infuses the dishes with a distinctly Japanese flavor, setting them apart from all the other seafood restaurants in the city.

His dishes are perfectly paired with the wine list, which offers more than 20 wines by the glass.

If you were starting to feel a little bored with the city’s dining landscape, Sepia’s worth a squizz.
