Not plates, not portions, but the fish itself, whole and smooth on its platter, surrounded by the people who are going to share it. It requires the right serving piece: something long enough, stable enough and simple enough not to compete with what rests on it.
The 127 fish platter was introduced into the Alessi collection in 1963, designed by Carlo Mazzeri and Anselmo Vitale. Its oval format, elongated and carefully proportioned, is directly adapted to the task: a fish lying along the axis of the platter with room for garnish at the sides. 18/10 stainless steel with a brushed finish and mirror-polished rim. The 127/55 measures 55 × 21 cm.
The fact that it is still in production is a statement in itself. More than sixty years of continuous production suggests that the form has already said everything that needs to be said, and that no one since has found a better way to solve the same task.
For whole fish up to a standard size, and for occasions at the table that deserve to be remembered.
