Hardly do the first rays of summer sun begin to shine through St. Petersburg windows when the phrase «Summer’s almost here!» can be heard everywhere you go. After a long snowy winter there’s nothing better than escaping to outside the city with family and friends to relax, have fun and slip into water, heated up by the hot summer sun. It is for these people that love such warm weather and this time of year that the year-round aqua club «Voda» (water) in St. Petersburg’s resort district was built. The club has a pool and a restaurant that is divided into a wet and a dry zone where you can have lunch almost without having to get out of the water. RTG TV host Nadezhda Lebedeva visited this aqua club and found out what’s on the menu.   Recipe «Chilean sea bass served over vegetables in a passion fruit sauce» Recipe «Tuna tataki salad»   Recipe «Strawberry parfait»   Chilean sea bass served over vegetables in a passion fruit sauce recipe serves 1 person; preparation time and cooking time ~ 40 minutes Ingredients: 170 g. sea bass fillet, 150 g. birch sap, 40 g. red bell pepper, 40 g. courgette, 40 g. aubergine, 2-3 pea pods, 2-3 tbsp. sweet Thai chili sauce, olive oil, salt, black ground pepper, lime leaves.
