Essential Pepin: Fabulous Fins

  • Episode 102: Jacques lives close to the sea and has developed a taste for a variety of fins. He begins with a recipe, created by his long-term friend Jean-Claude, of Cured Salmon in Molasses. Jacques prepares it step-by-step so that everyone can learn to make this mouth-watering treat. Jacques follows with Tuna Steaks with Tapenade Coating and Tuna Tartare on Marinated Cucumbers -- two very different preparations of the same fish. He also demonstrates a quick and easy Tuna Carpaccio. All this is followed by Poached Salmon in Ravigote Sauce. Then, utilizing skate, a fish that was often only used for bait, Jacques makes Ray Meunière with Mushrooms.

    "I lost an olive here, the one I was going to eat." Pepin is one of my favorite if not my favorite chef to watch, always fun to learn from him.

      Mine too, along with Jamie Oliver! But I think I even like Jacques more. He is pure and tons of knowledge. And of course his accent from France. I love his accent. Thank you Pépin, I learn much from you

    This guy is good, so is Jeff Smith. It's great to watch real cooking shows that teach you something, not the drama-filled trash that is on TV today, where you don't learn a thing.

    He is such a great Teacher, I learn so much... basically "How to assemble a $150 meal for 2 for about $35 - $40"
    When food is THIS Good, I don't mind doing the dishes cause I'm not going to be doing them alone.
    I have been binging on Jaques vids for a couple of days, and there are at least 6 of these complete meals that I can prepare with my tiny limited Kitchen and just our small town Grocer and feel that I will have good success with.
    (I like how he always explains how to do the prep without the machinery)

    I love skate. My English mother used to cook it for me as a kid. It's really easy to eat for children. You have to be very particular about how fresh it is. Fresh, it is wonderful. If not it may have an unpleasant ammonia taste.

    You remind me of the happy days with me my Father and Mother and my Daughters cooking in the kitchen. My Father was a whisky Man. He always loved to cook for me and Mum and Daughters. He was always happy when he was giving to others. Bless him. I so miss him. Christmas was his favourite time of the year. He would be in the kitchen making mince pies. Christmas cake. We always had the best of food with dad. The best produce. Everyone knew my Father when he use to go and get the food. He was very charming my Dad. People loved being around him. And I loved being with my Dad. He was so gentle and caring. He would always listen to me. He always understood me. They will be no one like him. He totally adored me. And I will always have him close to my heart. And love him forever. Children always love your parents no matter what. Parents are to be cherished . No matter what. We are all not perfect. That's why we are here. Because life is not perfect. Love one another. Even though I have suffered a lot in my life. I still have love in my heart. And time to time I have got angered because of what I had endured in my life. I had a very sheltered life. I was protected by my parents because of the sad circumstances on what happened to me when I was a baby. So when my Parents adopted me I was very special to them. And they protected me. So when bad things had happened to me I did not understand why I was treated that way. It was a shock to me. I had seen things that I shouldn't have.. and that is because I had bad people in my life. The only people that I ever trusted was my parents. And my Children. I love my Family. And I always will. Merry Christmas and I hope that everyone has a peaceful one. And remembering what Christmas truly means. Our Lord and Saviour. Who gave his life for all. To bring us hope peace and joy to the world. To love one another. Genuinely loving one another. Truly caring for each other. A smile goes a long way. Asking a stranger how are you. It means a lot . Love the world with all of your heart and soul . Praise be to God.

      +Tanya Walker It is great cooked that way !! However , I did notice that his water was boiling . It should be barely at a simmer to poach it correctly. A hard boil will toughen the fish . Super healthy technique .

    i doubt thats bluefin thats crazy expensive,probibly yellow fin maybe $15/lb
    that was about a 6lb peice so $90-100 6lbs will feed 12 people as a main couse so $8a person not too bad blue fin is parctically unubtainible in the us
    ahi(sashimi grade yellowfin) will cost you about $30/lb unless your on the coast

    I adore Jacques Pepin in all things culinary, but as a hardcore lox aficianado, I gotts say I'm not a fan of such ham-handed flavors as molasses, soy sauce and allspice in this recipe. I prefer gentler and more elegant flavors like brushing with gin mixed with a little fresh squeezed OJ, and adding some fresh orange zest and a whisper of fresh dill to the usual cure of white and brown sugar with kosher salt. Also, i would cut the air dry from 24 to 12 hrs, and leave it the remaining 12 hrs wrapped in plastic (after brushing lightly with CPEVOO) in the fridge to help the moisture levels equalize more.

    When I look at Claudine, I feel equal parts sadness and envy.
    The sadness isn't because she's ugly (I don't think she is); it's because it's gotta be hard to live in the shadow of Jacques Pepin.
    The envy is because she must have grown up eating the most incredible food.
