Fish Stock Sauce (Second Method)
Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- 1 décilitre fish fumet (concentrated fish stock)
- 5 egg yolks
- 500 grammes butter
Instructions
- Reduce the fish fumet (concentrated fish stock) by half over moderate heat.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the egg yolks. Mount the sauce with butter (monter au beurre), proceeding exactly as you would for a hollandaise sauce (sauce Hollandaise)—adding the butter in small pieces while whisking constantly over very gentle heat until the sauce is pale, thick, and silky.
