“Seafood Depuration (purification) is a technique applied in many parts of the world for the removal of microbial contaminants from light to moderately contaminated bivalve molluscan shellfish by placing them in tanks of clean seawater such that they undertake their normal pumping activity for a period of time that may range from several hours to days. It is usually undertaken because it is required by regional, national or local legislation but may also be applied at the discretion of the industry to protect their customers, demonstrate due diligence, or to satisfy the requirements of legislation in other regions or counties in order to be able to export to these.”

At TABLE they serve ingredient-based cuisine, with highlights on depurated seafood from their 12,000 square feet fish farm in Shatin where they ship live seafood to their restaurants daily.
They serve daily small dishes on the tasting menu, (all items at $158 or $580 for four items).
Cold items served first followed by hot items.
Here was what we tried:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Rolled filo:
Usually you are given bread, but here you get rolled filo that was so light and crispy which must have taken so much effort to roll it up.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Amuse bouche:
Delicious springy octopus on a crispy baguette slice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Eel:
Smoked eel on rock, fromage blanc, caviar, potato salad with vinaigrette.
I loved the creamy tart cheese on top of the brussel sprout.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mixed Manila, Tua Tia surf clams:
Mixed clams cooked in 24 hours which was served in delicious rich lobster broth.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Kanjang gejang:
Korean soy marinated fresh baby mud crab.
I knew this was going to be delicious but I was quite afraid of getting food poisoning at the same time.
However I can reassure you that it is 100% clean because it is depurated and I did not get any ill effects the next day!! AMAZING!!!
Finally a place where you can have delicious and safe seafood.
The crab was divine soaked heavily in soy marinade which had a strong tastes just like alcohol.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
lobster medallion:
Lardo crudo, citrus-white miso sauce.
I loved the paper thin lardo crudo which complemented the springy lobster with saltiness.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
french spring chicken preserved in lemon tagine:
Moroccan style preserved lemon, green olives with cous cous.
As well as seafood, I was amazed with this because I love mediterranean dishes too.
The baby chicken was cute and tender in delicious lemon gravy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Flower crab chunky crab cake:
egg yolk kofta, umeboshi aioli.
Crab lovers will love this with a huge pile of crabmeat paired with molten egg yolk croqueete.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
mud crab:
pesto rice, runny crab roe and pesto.
This was just as delicious as the Korean crab earlier because the rice was al-dente covered in delicious pesto.
After mixing it with the runny crab roe, the taste was just heaven.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Korean baby abalone:
This was soy butter panfred abalone but there was also fried abalone in vodka batter.
I am definitely going to try the battered one next time.
The abalone was tender evenly coated in butter with a rich soy taste.
