    Thank you for this Stephan. My Question/pondering.... The method of cooling the Court Bouillon and then introducing the fish is so the fish would slowly cook evenly? If one placed cold fish in the boiling liquid, the outside would cook first and unevenly. I can't wait to try this.

  • @christophweiers3688

    Perfect! I love your presentation and your didactics showing absolute beginners the unpretentious craftsmenship of cooking. Cooking on a high level is not an art but craftsmenship taken to perfection! No one should look down on the classic recepies. The culinary approach is, to bring the classic recepies to another level! I rather prepare/kill lobsters in a Court Bouillon, it enhances the taste, texture and strukture of the flesh. Even, if you eat it cold "Bellevue Style" its perfect with the a simple Cocktail-Sauce! Court Bouillon, so delicious!

    I wonder if the difference between older and modern techniques has to do with the ability to control heat. Boiling on a fire/coals is easy, getting it to a simmer is much harder than on a modern gas or electric stove.

      As someone who regularly cooks on coal and charcoal.... I'd say it's somewhat harder to simmer... But not very much.

      Normally, because it's so simple, you would produce your Court Bouillon always fresh. I never tried to freeze it after using it, but as any stock (vegetable, chicken etc.) it should be easy to do so.
