She sets the fillets aside and uses the trim and bones to make 'Fumet', a light fish broth. The fillets return for a demonstration of proper pan-searing technique served simply with a bright spritz of lemon. The fresh fillets are also cubed and tossed with fresh citrus juice, chillies, and cilantro, for her Ceviche Peruano. The Fumet returns for a seafood chowder loaded with ham, shellfish, potatoes, and cream. Next, whole fish grilled with North African 'Dukkah' spices and dressed with aromatic Chermoula. Her final presentation is a stunning parchment paper wrapped 'love letter' from France, in her anise-scented Striped Bass en Papillote.
