Butter Poached Tripletail with Chow Chow

This recipe works with many kinds of fish, not just tripletail. Choose a fish you can serve as a block or big thick chunk. For the butter, you need a lot, but it can be saved in the fridge and reused three or four times before it gets fishy. The chow chow and nage can be made up to three days in advance.

Ingredients

Servings

NAGE

  • 4 cups fish stock see above, or crab or shrimp stock
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 or 3 corn cobs cut into chunks
  • saffron a pinch
  • 2 tablespoons butter

CHOW CHOW

  • 4 or 5 corn ears
  • 1/4 cup shallot minced
  • 1 bell pepper red or orange, diced
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon thyme dried
  • 1 teaspoon seeds optional, such as fennel, anise, carrot, caraway, yampa, etc
  • salt
  • black pepper

FISH

  • 1 to 2 pounds butter unsalted
  • salt
  • 1 to 2 pounds fish skinless, in large pieces
  • Cavender's seasoning or black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice the kernels off the corn, reserving both the cobs and kernels. 
  2. Make the fish stock or crab stock as per the recipe, adding in the cut up corn cobs. Strain and add 4 cups of the stock and the white wine to a new pot and simmer it down by half. Add the saffron and let steep for at least 15 minutes. 
  3. While the stock is simmering, make the chow chow. In a large pan, heat everything (including the corn kernels) over medium heat for about three minutes, until warmed and well combined. Turn off the heat and leave everything in the pan. 
  4. Melt the butter in a pot just large enough to hold the pieces of fish and the butter. Gently poach the fish under the melted butter for about 15 minutes. Keep this on low heat the whole time. 
  5. To finish, whisk two tablespoons of butter into the nage. Give everyone some chow chow, top with a piece of fish. Sprinkle on the Cavender's. Pour a little nage around the bowls and serve.
