-------------------------------------------------------------
River Cobbler (Pangasius hypophthalmus) is a fish from Vietnam or Thailand. It is a white meaty fish, very tender. Grilled for a few minutes and dressed in red peppers and capers in virgin olive oil.
This French beef stew used a one whole bottle of red wine, brandy and the zest and juice of oranges. Never tasted anything like it before. A unique and delicious flavor.
The crusty Gruyère cheese top Potato Gratin.
Garlic and herb bread along side the main dish
Everyone got their own individual lemon tart with cream served separately.

This evening's verdict on tonight's French dinner:
Fantastique!
Another 'feast' that looks delicious, if only I could smell & taste it! The River Cobbler fish is delicious (I've tried it and a big fan) but a controversial fish that has caused many an arguement at recent dinner party's. Love the French theme and the dishes again look to be of the highest standard. Keep up the good work - look forward to next weeks installment. PS Did post a comment last week but has not appeared.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, its a very meaty fish and doesn't have a 'fishy' taste unlike most river fish which i find taste very earthy. thank you for your comment, its much appreciated
