Wild Cornish Turbot
Wild Cornish turbot, lightly kombu-brined and filled with a delicate turbot and scallop mousse, gently steamed to preserve its natural sweetness. Paired with celeriac layers, Cornish mussels, smoked butter, and a champagne shellfish sauce, finished with shaved white truffle. A dish built on technique, balance, and restraint... and one you can recreate yourself, step by step, inside the membership. Have fun! :)
