BROCHET AU BEURRE BLANC

Normal Saturday morning in Les Halles marché Dijon looking for interesting food. Very unusually one of the fish stalls had a few large brochet (pike) almost a metre long. It had to be bought. So it's 'Brochet au Beurre Blanc' for dinner. Watch out for the bones apparently.

Brochet in Les Halles

Beurre Blanc is the classic sauce for pike in France. Refer to the blog post 'Les Pêchers 19/12/2014 for a recipe. So it's a court-bouillon to cook the fish with the beurre blanc sauce, so simple. Or as a friend of ours says '....how hard can it be!'
