To celebrate its embrace of sustainable seafood, Chaya Brasserie in Beverly Hills is running a special menu of eight dishes piled high with wild Alaskan fish and shellfish through April 30. Chef Shigefumi Tachibe’s recipes include a mushroom tart with sea urchin and Alaskan king crab, ravioli stuffed with mi-cuit wild salmon, brioche crusted Alaskan halibut, black truffle soy glazed-black cod from the northernmost state, and a spicy hot pot with halibut cheek, langoustine, shrimp, clams, and black mussels. We probably don’t need to tell you which territory-inspired baked dessert marks the end of the menu, but just in case, you’ll find Chaya’s full “Wild Fish Fair” selection below.
