Paul Qui, Executive Chef of Uchiko restaurant in Austin, Texas, shows how to perfectly fillet and thinly slice fresh loup de mer (also known as Mediterranean sea bass). He pairs the delicate flavor of the fish with vibrant Meyer lemon, a sweet meaty tomato known as Kumato, herbaceous nasturtium and peppery greens for a textured and beautiful dish.
Fillet Fish
Slice & Garnish
Coming from a culinary family in Houston, Texas, did not necessarily point Paul Qui in the same direction. Not until college, and the experience of waiting tables, did he take note of what was going on in a professional kitchen. Impressed with what he saw the chefs doing, he moved to Austin to attend culinary school. While not a devoted student, Paul finished school to please his mom, and while there met the creative force otherwise known as Chef Tyson Cole. Paul joined Tyson at Uchiko restaurant and although holding the title of Executive Chef, Paul definitely enjoys being one of the guys in the kitchen, sharing the stories, creativity and pace he loves.
