Our fearless food explorer dives headfirst into the unknown, starting with the mysterious black Scabbard fish at By the Sea restaurant.

Luke and Mink bravely take on this unconventional pairing, discovering that the unlikely combo actually works surprisingly well. It's a culinary rollercoaster you won't want to miss.
Next up, they venture into the world of limpets, a local seafood delight cooked with garlic butter and lemon. The flavors are described as unique and delightful, showcasing the rich culinary tapestry of Madera. Then, it's time to quench their thirst with Nikita, a drink blending pineapple ice cream and white wine at Ray du Pancha. Luke savors the fruity and refreshing concoction, highlighting the island's knack for unexpected flavor combinations.

The cake, made with sugar cane syrup and a blend of exotic ingredients, offers a sweet and aromatic journey through time. And just when you thought the excitement couldn't get any higher, they take on a thrilling toboggan ride down a mountain, experiencing the adrenaline rush of this popular tourist activity in Madera.
