If like me you love porcini then welcome to a little secret…Romania is full of them but they are in the main shipped off to Italia!
So to get your mitts on some really top quality maggot free dirt free porcini and I hope some chanterelles in the Spring contact the very obliging Niculae via his facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/uscamtotceprindem?fref=ts
and he will deliver when he is in Bucharest (you can arrange to have them dropped at the Bistro at 15 Putul lui Zamfir if that is easier)
i jumped for joy when I found out about these guys because I really have problems using fish that has just had such a long journey to Romania it has more frequent flyer points than your average global media celeb. So hallelujah! sustainable turbot on our doorstep…well Constanta…and delivered to your door.
Turbot is meaty, easy to fillet and delicious. It lends itself to simple dishes but also the flesh can be used in soups as it holds its shape and chunky fishcakes.
Check out the guys at http://www.seaqualia.com/ very friendly and helpful
