Fancy New Italian Seafood at Costa di Mare and a Rare Scotch Cart at Strip House

WYNN LAS VEGAS — Costa di Mare just unleashed a new hard-to-find seafood program that brings up to three weekly shipments of 220 pounds of fish from Italy. Look for Tuscan Sea Palamita, a relative of the tuna and mackerel, served raw as carpaccio with artichokes and a drizzle of gremolata or poached with olive oil to create a delicate tonnato sauce for beef tartare; Cicala di Mare, a prehistoric lobster served grilled whole over charcoal or prepared over pasta with tomato and garlic; Mantis Shrimp, a sweet sea crustacean grilled and served with lemon and parsley; Mormora, a fish with moist flesh that comes roasted whole with olive oil and white wine; Centrolofo, a fish served fried with crispy artichoke and pickled lemon; and Costardelle, a bluefish traditionally served fried.
