You will then transform one of the most iconic dishes from the Northeast – the lobster roll! – preparing it in brioche with avocado pudding, shellfish and horseradish cream, coriander salt, and seaweed chips. Next is monkfish (a Chef Herve favorite) cooked slowly sous vide and served with lobster dashi consommé, polenta cream, and fried monkfish bites.
