Whitebait
Friture de blanchaille is a lesson in hot fat and restraint: flour shaken nearly bare, minute-long batches, a snap of salt and cayenne, and fried parsley still vivid green.

Updated July 27, 2026
The Mediterranean's rouget, scored and grilled over a fierce fire, then dressed the classical ways: Bordeaux's butter-mounted sauce Bonnefoy, Provençal fennel steamed in paper, the sunny garnish of Nice, and sealed en papillote to soufflé at the table, with London's fried Thames whitebait to close. Grilled fish translated for one home stove, one evening.
A cooking platform built around craft, culture, and the stories behind what we eat.

Whole red mullet meets fierce heat, then a glossy Niçoise garnish of reduced tomato, garlic, anchovy, and black olives. The lesson is restraint: bronze the skin, keep the flesh pearly, and let the coast do the rest.

Rouget à la Bordelaise teaches the old balance: fierce heat for the fish, gentleness for the sauce, with bronzed red mullet laid over buttery, tarragon-flecked Bonnefoy.

Rouget grillé rewards precision over fuss: cisel the whole fish according to its thickness, turn it over fierce heat, baste steadily, and serve its bronzed skin with melting maître d’hôtel butter.

Red mullet grilled to bronze, tucked between thick Duxelles, and sealed in an oiled paper heart that balloons in the oven. Bring it straight to the table and let each guest release its mushroom-rich aroma.

Rouget au fenouil turns a paper parcel into an aromatic cooking vessel: red mullet, fennel, lemon, parsley, and pork fat grilled gently until the skin gleams and the flesh releases from the bone.
