Black Bass Recado Negro, Squash & Frried Plantain

Laura: "So the dish is black bass with a recado negro. Inside you have escabeche of squash, and a little bit of fried plantain. And I think it lands very well into cooking in Curacao."

Judges, behind the scenes

"I'm getting a lot of ... It's like ... it's dirt. Dirt."

"I do think the fresh fish was well cooked and delicious, actually."

"If you take a little bit of the negro sauce and then the green sauce together and have it in one bite, it was fabulous."
