Day eighty three

'Catch of the day'

What is specific about catfish?

TGIF.

Today it was only one class - fish fab. The list of victims includes catfish, trout, and rock cod. Rock cod  was familiar for us, we did it already. Catfish and trout were for the first time.

Trout is very similar to salmon. The size is different, but the bone structure is the same. Flesh is also more delicate as to compare to salmon. We fabricated boneless, skinless fillets from trout.

Catfish was completely new. It has
very slimy skin. Catfish is cartilaginous fish, which means that instead on bones it has cartilage structure, which looks like bones. Catfish was also fabricated for boneless, skinless filets.

Our chef cooked today roulades we prepared yesterday from sole with salmon muss. He cooked them in simmering water, then he removed foil, cut in even rounds and then removed plastic wrap. In case you have the same question as I had, when you cut roulade unwrapped from plastic, you will not get even edges. So we cut when roulade is in plastic and then we remove it. He made sauce like beurre blanc  but instead white wine, he used red. The sauce has very interesting color. He used fingerling potato and brussel sprouts for garnish.
