Slow Cooking Fish

I think the hardest things I haven’t mastered is slow cooking because the Asian cuisine that I’m familiar with tends to overcook all kinds of meat. It is the spices and rich flavours that count in the curries and soups, where meat is used more for the essence than to savour the purity of the product. It’s hard when in Malay, Indian, Chinese cuisines, there are thousands of spices and herbs to cook with and inevitably the meat takes on the flavour of what’s thrown into the pot.

So, slow cooking is done by feeling and taking the meat out at your own discretion. I suppose that also comes with experience.

We had cod and John Dory done à la Galliot.
