Here we are. We have come to dish number 5 of this Feast of Seven Fishes series. First and foremost, I would like to thank you for staying tuned. Thank you. I had traveled to Vietnam, Persia, Denmark, Singapore/Malaysia and now, I have landed in France. This dish is inspired by the legendary Chef Andre Soltner. He uses pike to make his dumplings; pike is not available anywhere in Singapore and I use halibut instead. I strongly believe that any high quality white flesh fish will work for this recipe. But my best bets are Halibut and Sole. Cod is too fatty and haddock is too firm. You will need the white flesh fish to be a bit flakier. Chef Andre Soltner also quenelled his pike dumplings in warm salted water. I am no chef, so I took a completely different route instead (I hope he doesn't mind). In closing, this is a very fancy dish which you don't see very often, not even in typical restaurants. I also won't be eating this on a monthly basis. But this is the holiday season, why not support your local grocery markets and fish farmers with a little splash of money? And instead of roast ham or turkey, surprise your families and guests with a taste of the ocean.
