Aquarium Sardinia was once again in the spotlight on the popular television program “Oggi al Mercato,” which aired on Videolina on October 13, 2025. The show’s cameras returned to the kitchen of Mosaico, our restaurant in Torre Delle Stelle, to showcase the excellence of Southern Sardinian cuisine, rooted in local ingredients, culinary artistry, and a deep connection to the land.

At the center of the episode was an elegant dish created by our head chef Emanuele Enna: stuffed sea bream with filled zucchini flowers.

The recipe begins with filleting the sea bream. The trimmings are blended into a filling made of fresh baby spinach and egg white, giving the dish both texture and flavor. This mixture is spread over the central fillet, which is then wrapped in zucchini flowers and slow-cooked at low temperature to maintain a tender, rosy interior.

The dish is finished with a vernaccia beurre blanc, made from a fish bone stock, white wine reduction, and cream, offering a smooth and slightly acidic balance. On the side, sautéed spinach with garlic, and a final touch of flavor and texture with zucchini flowers stuffed with smoked ricotta and herbs, battered and fried, offering a dual interpretation of this iconic ingredient.

All the ingredients come from local supply chains, and wherever possible, directly from Aquarium’s own garden, which reflects our commitment to sustainable, zero-kilometer cuisine. This garden is not just a place for harvesting vegetables, but an extension of our philosophy: respect seasonality, minimize waste, and elevate every ingredient, even those typically discarded.

Being selected by Videolina to once again represent Sardinia’s culinary excellence is not just an honor, but a confirmation that we are on the right path: telling an authentic story of the island through food, technique, and creativity. Our goal is to offer a gastronomic experience deeply rooted in the real Sardinia, yet forward-looking, told through a conscious and contemporary language.

We thank Videolina for the opportunity to share our food and our land, and we invite everyone to watch the full episode and discover the dish featured:
