  • Making my way through Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" cookbook... like the movie "Julie & Julia". Today I make Fish Poached in White Wine (à la Bretonne). Specifically I'm cooking with Sole... But I ended up buying a whole fish, so I also have to learn how to gut and fillet fish.

    Julia does this in The French Chef Season 5: Episode 4. She starts with a big stack of whole soles that she caught herself! She demonstrates how to fillet them, then does the recipe

    Jamie, you're the best! I've made this recipe on several occasion, and you didn't do so badly. Some points:
    Use a boneing knife...the one with the narrow thin blade with a curved tip...it's designed for that purpose. Sole is delicate and hard to handle. So,
    you can poach the entire fish first. Remove the guts and place the entire fish in the liquid, and poach for 5 minutes or so. Remove and let cool. The skin comes off easily. Make a cut down the middle of the fish's back and gently push away from the skeleton. You should get 4 neat filets from this...then proceed as normal.

      The passing grade for a waiter is filleting the COOKED fish table side. Part of the show. This is not done with a knife, but with 2 spoons, or a spoon and a fork.
      If cooked properly the flesh should pull away, leaving the skeleton clean. The bones are then lifted away from the remaining flesh.

    Not sure if anyone's pointed this out or not- but that's actually not a knife sharpener. That's a tuner. It helps rearrange the edge of the blade AFTER you sharpen it. To sharpen a blade, you'll need an actual sharpener or some kind of porous stone/clay/etc. (whetstone). Tuning a knife is important for getting a better edge and making sure your sharp edge lasts longer. You'll still need to actually sharpen the knife though, lol.

    The way that Julia Child's cookbooks are like modules, that you add on to your skills from the basic idea. It's very strange, and quite different to most cookbooks, but honestly it's really cool, because it makes a person think about how so much of cooking is just repeating basic skills over and over until you master them. It's so fricking confusing though. When I first used the book, I would copy the whole process out by hand, which helped me understand all the nuances. Then I had my version of the recipe in my recipe box that I could use. So often, I could just streamline it down to be much shorter....Marcella Hazan has a really similar recipe to this that skips the cream/cheese and butter topping. It's my favorite way to prepare fish and it's really fast. The poaching liquid is kept and can be served over polenta with the fish. I mean I get it, Britanny is cold and rainy AF, and they have more dairy than they know what to do with, but I think most people eat fish to be a little healthier, ya know?

      @wrongturnVfor Рік тому +2

      I think people really miss the point with recipes. They arent rules set in stone, they are more like guidelines you kind of get an idea and then change things according to what you like and what works best for you.

  • @JoannaHammond
    @JoannaHammond Рік тому

    A little tip for your fish ,especially sole, fold the ends into the middle overlaping each other. It creates a more even layer of fish and allows for more controlled cooking as the fish is then an even thickness. I say this as what you have currently done will overcut the edges (the thinnest part) way before the thicker part is cooked.

  • @mbc65

    I belly laughed watching you break down that fish. It was oddly reminiscent of my first Thanksgiving turkey that would've definitely been not only overcooked but overcooked with the neck bone and bag of giblets still inside. A phone call from mom in which she asked: "Did you take out the bag?" Me: "Bag, what bag?" No way was I stuffing it so I figured my hands wouldn't need to go in there.
    Silly me.
    You rock Jamie. Keep going.

    Hi Jamie, I realise that you didn't know at the time of this video but flat fish like sole actually have 4 fillets each not just 2 like other fish such as bream etc. Filleting fish is hard enough at the best of times but you did a pretty good job considering it was your first time. If you haven't already done so you might want to invest in a sharpening stone for you knives so you can get a proper edge on the blade, because a steel won't do that.

    There is a reason knives have names like boning knife or filet knife. Don't get me wrong, if you can only have one knife, the the chef knife is the utility tool you want, but if you have the other tools, you should probably use them. (and don't lie, I know you have the other tools)
