Ingredients
Method
Bake the potatoes in the oven at 200ºC for 1 – 1 ½ hours until cooked. Allow to cool, scoop out the flesh and mash. Gently heat the milk and add to the potato with the butter and black pudding paste. Beat together in a pan over a low heat. Season the halibut with salt pepper and lemon juice and steam for 4-6 mins. Gently heat the Shellfish bisque. Add the cream, tomato and gremolata and the meat from the snow crab.
Shellfish bisque:
Remove the meat from the crab legs & set aside. Roast snow crab shells in hot oven for 8-10mins. Chop onion, garlic & carrot roughly and brown in a large saucepan. Add bay leaves and roasted crab shells. Deglaze roasting pan with white wine and add to saucepan. Add tomato puree, orange peel and brandy. Cook for 2mins then add fish stock and cook for a further 15mins. Add a cup of rice and cook for 5 mins. Add juice of a lemon and adjust seasoning then strain.
To Serve:
Serve by spooning the sauce onto the plates. Put 3 quenelles of mash on each plate and top each with a piece of halibut. Garnish with Microherbs.
