This recipe pays tribute to people who love white fish, which is an ingredient often excluded from fondue meals due to their very flaky texture. Your Fondussimo will allow you to accomplish the impossible: obtaining a perfectly cooked piece of fish each time—something classic chowders or fish soup can’t offer with their mostly overcooked fish. Enhanced with a creamy dill sauce and paired with savoury vegetables, such as mushrooms, pearled onions and chunks of corn on the cob, this Fisherman’s Fondue is bound to become a new classic! For an even more refined version, you can also serve it with giant scallops. You won’t regret it.

A few tips
This broth is so delicious that you will want to enjoy every last drop. We recommend that you serve the cooked garnishes in small bowls and add a bit of steaming hot broth over it for a “chowder” effect. It’s a true delicacy!
To accelerate the cooking time of the potatoes, it is possible to blanch them before serving. Afterwards, mash them slightly. This way, the potatoes will soak up the broth.
