Fish Soup, celebrating all our wonderful Fish and Seafood from around the coast. Pop to the beach to buy the freshest fish or along to one of the locla fishmongers who will help you trim the fish and of course advise you on what the best is! You will be able to see some great seafood cookery from Chef Olivier Guyard-Mulkerrin who is a true master of the kitchen and produces fantastic fresh flavoursome fish dishes, at Les Saveurs in Exmouth.

This is my version from the cookery school...
​

For the fish soup makes 2 portions

  • 50 g butter
  • ½ small onion, peeled, finely chopped
  • ¼  bulb fennel, finely chopped
  • ¼  stick celery, finely chopped
  • ¼  carrot, trimmed and finely chopped
  • 1 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ¼ leek fine strips
  • 1 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 fresh bay leaf
  • 1 potato washed peeled and fine diced
  • pinch saffron
  • plaice flesh chopped into small pieces
  • red mullet, pin bones removed, flesh chopped into small pieces
  • 4-6 mussels
  • 1 tsp of prawns
  • coarse sea salt
  • 3 pinches  pepper
  • 50 ml cream
  • 50 ml vermouth or a good dry white wine

Method

  • Melt butter and sweat all vegetables with garlic and herbs.
  • De-glaze the pan with vermouth& water.
  • Simmer for a few minutes.
  • Add fish and simmer until fish is cooked.
  • Add cream and chopped parsley and fennel.
  • Reduce and re- season with salt and pepper.
  • Top your soup with Aioli.

For the aioli sauce

  • 1  egg yolk                                          
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped              
  • Pinch salt 
  • 250g/9oz olive oil 
  • ¼ lemon, juice only
  • Pinch cayenne pepper  

Method

  • Add garlic and lemon juice.

​Well actually aga dried as there is not enough sun at the moment! These work so well and are so easy to do and really add flavour to winter dishes, watch out for medium sized tomatoes which are the best. Then simply slice in half, sprinkle with a bit if salt and place face up onto a wire rack, place in a very low oven for about 6 hours and they will come out dried but still moist, pop into a jar and cover with oil and place in the fridge, use when you need them. To keep them fresh make sure that they are well covered in oil.
