Foodie Fact: A fish darne refers to the cut of fish. It usually refers to a round fish cut across the width, bone in. This produces a thick, round shaped fish ‘steak’.
Beer Pairing
Darling Slow Beer
When it comes to the delicate flavours of seafood, lighter beers work well to complement, without overpowering. In this case, Darling Slow Beer with its mild bitterness and refreshing finish, is perfect for cutting through the oils in the fish, and the creaminess of the mascarpone butter.
