At La Mar, the fish is never a single dish.
The Whole Fish Experience follows the coastal philosophy of using the entire catch, beginning with bright raw preparations and ending with slow, fire-finished depth. Each stage highlights a different texture, temperature, and intensity, allowing the table to experience the full character of the fish.
Served for 3–4 guests, the meal progresses from cold preparations to a final hot course built from the remaining cuts.

A Shared Coastal Ritual
The experience moves from bright acidity to warm depth — a progression that reflects how fish is cooked along the Peruvian coast: nothing discarded, every part expressed.
