Cinematic Kayak fishing#1: Enter Cavo, Πειρατεία χρωμάτων στο πιο άγριο ακρωτήριο.

One of the few chances for calm fishing during autumn, when weather usually has a different opinion.
And what better place to test my new camera than Cavo Grosso — a hidden gem of the Peloponnese, visible only by the sea.

The peninsula is vast and demanding to reach, but the reward is unmatched: a place where colors truly come alive.
A cinematic kayak, late-autumn fishing montage, capturing movement, silence, and the beauty of untouched waters.

🐟 Recipe – Dentex all’Acqua Pazza (Thai Notes)
––––––––––––––

Ingredients:
– 1.5 kg+ Dentex of the day (ideally from Cavo)
– Extra virgin olive oil
– Garlic
– Chilli
– Ginger
– Cherry tomatoes (≈250 g per 1 kg of fish)
– 1 lime
– Fresh coriander
– White wine (150 ml)
– Water (no need to be boiled)

You will need:
– A large pot (preferably a Dutch oven)
– A good knife and a cutting board

Preparation:

1) Clean the dentex well, season lightly, and set aside
2) Chop the garlic, chilli, ginger, and one third of the cherry tomatoes
3) Remove lime zest with a knife and cut into small pieces
4) Open the wine bottle (important step)

Execution:
– Heat olive oil in the pot over high heat, add salt and pepper
– Add garlic, chilli and ginger and let them lightly burn (not turn golden)
– Add lime juice, then the chopped cherry tomatoes, stirring well
– Pour in the white wine and let it reduce to about two thirds
– Add the fish (whole or cut to fit), then add a little water so nothing burns — do not cover the fish
– Close the pot and cook on medium heat, gently poaching the fish
– After 5 minutes, add the remaining cherry tomatoes
– After 12–15 minutes by the time you add the fish, carefully turn the fish and cook another 10–12 minutes, depending on size
– Remove the fish and tomatoes; if there is excess liquid, add a little bit of olive oil and reduce it slightly — the goal is a fragrant wine-water, not a thick sauce
– Pour the “crazy water” over the fish, finish with coriander and lime zest
