Fish 101

Tonight our team entered the wonderful world of fish as we had our first lesson on the Poissonier station.
Now I might have mentioned this before, I'm not that good with fish. Can't say that I enjoy eating fish all that much either.
All this might change after tonight's class though. Our dishes rocked!

Sole and Trout. The trout pan fried with a butter/lemon/caper/parsley sauce. The sole with a creamy mushroom sauce.
The cooking process was quite enjoyable, we were perfectly synchronized tonight, timing was immaculate - all went well.

That seems to be the secret to success. Good prep, good teamwork, good timing and a bit of skill.

It was weird today, a lot of my classmates went away for the holidays already and the whole school felt a lot quieter than usual.
If Christmas is your holiday, enjoy it. Have a great time, eat some good food.

Merry Christmas.
