Last fish day before moving on to chicken week was actually not that hard, pretty nice day. We made two recipes, one was sea bass steamed in a plastic bag, and the other was small pieces of sole deep fried with a tartare sauce. Two of them were really tasty and different but the steamed sea bass was very good, I loved it! This is what we did:
Stripes of fennel, carrots and leek were sweated in butter, water, sugar and salt
After a while. This was pretty good on it's own.
On a special plastic paper resistant up to 350 degrees, butter and the vegetables, then chervil
Then some grapefruit
A really nice filet of sea bass
Wrapped like a present
Coucou! To the steam oven for 10 minutes
Can be served like that on a plate with the wrap
Or opened on a plate
Or slide over that plate with no wrap
Could served with a sauce on the side, but it's really not necessary.
And could be served without the skin, also open in the middle to check if it's cooked right
Flaky, tender and really really great with the grapefruit and fennel.
For the other recipe we used sole. Small ones this time. Ugly this side
And even uglier on the other side
Skinned, filetted and sliced to small pieces. Then breaded and deep fried.
Pickles and capers are cut for the tartare sauce. (Also onion and herbs)
The mayonnaise which is already very easily done
The presentation of the dish
French fish and chips I guess 馃檪

Wow, the steamed fish looks amazing and so special!
