Bobby Flay’s newest restaurant Shark opens in Las Vegas | Eater Vegas

"Opened by television personality Bobby Flay as his first new restaurant in five years at the Palms, this seafood- and fish-forward spot centers on a sushi program and raw bar while blending South American, Mexican, and Mediterranean flavors. The menu leans on South American chilies—panca, rocoto, and aji amarillo—in preparations such as sea scallops with mustard green salsa verde, panca chili, and cojita; tuna tartare with crispy green rice and Peruvian chili sauce; and a cured salmon and egg tostada with rocoto hot sauce and black bean “butter,” plus ceviches and tacos on purple corn tortillas. Many entrees are intended for sharing, including a whole grilled lobster with basil, garlic, and red chili butter and The BF steak, a 36-ounce bone-in prime porterhouse with triple chili butter and pan juices; desserts include churros with toasted coconut and bittersweet chocolate sauce and an ube cheesecake with fruit salsa. Chef Kiyo Asano, who trained in Osaka and worked at Nobu and Bar Masa, oversees the sushi offerings—highlights include a spicy blue fin tuna roll, salmon sashimi with hot smoked chili dressing and cucumber-basil relish, and yellowtail ceviche with charred pineapple, chili de arbol, and bitter greens. The Rockwell Group-designed dining room opens to the resort’s Kaos Dayclub & Nightclub and features a 20-foot-long bar of solid chevron walnut planks, hand-glazed clay tiles, and an open grill with a natural marble counter and a tinted stainless-steel hood." - Susan Stapleton
