Pescado.

Located across from the Ashdod coast, Pescado is a masterclass in elevating simple ingredients through technical precision. Chef Yehi Zino benefits from a direct line to the Mediterranean; his partner, Eran Jano, comes from a multi-generational fishing family, ensuring the kitchen receives the day's best catch before almost anyone else. The menu avoids the heavy masking of traditional seafood houses, opting instead for clean, creative pairings like spicy sashimi with tahini or the restaurant’s cult-favorite signature: crispy fried fish gills. While the space maintains a relaxed, unpretentious beach-city vibe, the execution is disciplined enough to satisfy the most rigorous culinary standards—all while operating within kosher guidelines. An extensive, mineral-forward wine list completes the experience.
