Basic Fish Mousse
1.1k
It may be a basic way to make this fish mousse, but the flavor was definitely very sophisticated. Light, silken-smooth with the creamy and rich Hollandaise sauce that Sean made from the scratch, it was an ultimate enjoyment!

We had smoked bass mousse in Croatia. Your basic recipe seems to turn out what looks to be the same, smooth mousse. What we had in the restaurant was so special, I can't wait to try you take on it. Thanks for posting your recipe.
