Daily-catch cooking
At Taverna del Capitano in Marina del Cantone, JRE chef Alfonso Caputo cooks with the sea as his compass. Named after his grandfather, he grew up between his mother Grazia’s kitchen and the fishermen’s boats, then trained at Gualtiero Marchesi and travelled from France to Japan. He joined JRE in 1993 and earned his Michelin Star at 26. Two local fishermen fish specifically for him, so the menu shifts with the catch. Caputo uses the whole fish, head to tail, to keep flavours true and waste low. He keeps cooking fresh, never routine, letting the day’s product decide the dish.
“Every morning we wait for the catch. The product writes the recipe and keeps us curious.”
