  • 🌿 Tamal de Pesca & Mole Verde by Chef Carlos Serrano @serranococina 

Catch of the day, oven-cooked in banana leaves over binchotan, served on a creamy tamal base and finished with green mole, pumpkin seeds, and sesame.🐟🔥

This dish is a tribute to one of Belize’s most iconic traditional meals—the tamal. After spending time learning in a Maya community in Cayo, Chef Serrano was inspired to create his own refined and modern version.

Only at AKASHA, the new culinary destination in San Pedro.
