Poached Cod Olive Oil Poached Cod En Salade: -Artichoke Puree, Tarragon Dressing, Lemon Zest Perhaps my favorite dish of the entire night. The cod was apparently quick cured in salt and briefly poached in olive oil. One of the table captains told me the do not use sous-vide, but rather favor conventional stove-top preparation. Also, I found it quite interesting that the entire prep starts in the afternoon - so salt-curing is quite quick, indeed. The fish was cooked just a hair above sashimi texture, and combined the best of of raw, bacalao and ultra-fresh cod worlds. Tarragon dressing was a brilliant pairing. On a separate note: herewith, I shall commit an act of blasphemy: - what is the advantage of using bacalao (aka baccala) over fresh fish? I realize it's was the only way to preserve much needed protein in the past, but in the era of refrigeration and availability of fresh cod from the Atlantic doesn't it seems as archaic and obsolete as Kosher/Kashrut dietary laws, which made a lot of sense 3000 years ago, but are completely senseless now? I think I have offended enough people already... At any rate, this was a plate for the ages - quite possibly one of the best things I ever ate. Slow Cooked Icelandic Cod with Crushed New Potatoes, Langoustine Claws, Parsley and Lemon
One of The Square's classic dishes. Poached (?) fillet of cod is bathed in a pea, asparagus and mint foam that hides a bed of cooked leeks, snow pea pods and carrots. Although moist and easily flaking to the tines of the fork, the cod's subtle flavour is rather pedestrian, and lacked the oomph to make it memorable. What I do recall was that this dish embodied the freshness of the season, and that the airy sauce tasted like fresh pureed vegetables (greens or carrot). This dish was good, but not mind blowing.
