What does cooking mean to you?
To me cooking is fun and about being creative… It’s therapeutic and It’s a challenge! It really gives me the time to unwind after a busy day and come up with ideas. I always look forward to chopping, blending, mixing and experimenting with flavours.
What was the first thing that came to your mind when you heard about South Georgia Toothfish?
My first impression was that it looked a lot like the North Sea hake… Being in the fishing business for quite some time, I thought I had seen it all. But the South Georgia Toothfish is really something else! I was speechless when I saw the filet. Never before I have seen a fish with such a snow white fish meat! Awesome! There is no fish that even comes close to the South Georgia Toothfish.
Can you describe the taste of this fish?
It has a wonderful taste and texture… I would say it is comparable to Crab and Scallops, very delicate! South Georgia Toothfish is undoubtedly one of the most delicious fish in the world – it’s deep aroma and fat, gives it an exceptional flavour that makes it unique.
What is your dish of choice for the South Georgia Toothfish?
My favorite is Toothfish with Beetpuree and Apple Butter Sauce.
Your wishlist for the perfect dinner with friends or family:
– A showstopper dish, made of rich products like South Georgia Toothfish
– A killer wine, perfectly matching to the dish. Personally I love the Sancerre or Pouilly fume or a really nice spatburgunder trocken (ManZ) – this one combines excellent with the Toothfish!
