Now THIS here is innovative; a caramel made from head shrimps, emulsified with mustard. That is damn impressive lads, well done! Elegant dish!

The Veerse Meer or Lake s connected to the adjacent North Sea (locks) and i have caught seabass, small mackerel, trout, eel, flounder, … there throuhout the years. I would say the water is very brakkish,…. The huge mackerel he is holding … must have some good fishermen friends 😂

lovely

Interesting dish. The chef needs to give that knife some love on a wet stone.

Stupid question, but isnt mackarel a salt water fish? How can it be from a lake?

[@yaelstroo2545]

Its called brak water hero in Zeeland, het Veerse meer namelijk.

Nice dish. However, Mackerel and seabass are both species not being fished in the ‘lake’ the chef is talking about, let alone the time of the year. Either the chef is not aware of what swims around in his own backyard, or he is not speaking the truth which are both options not really reasonable for a restaurant this quality.

[@clasifi1]

He knows...So it begs the question, "why" would he say that ?

Maybe ask WBP when this was recorded. Could be in the mackerel season (may-september) I had an incredible dinner at Meliefste. In the sun on the terrace overlooking the lake. Really magical.

[@wdevries1]

Could be, but then again there is no mackerel in the Veerse meer. They wont come further inshore then the Oosterschelde

lets touch every little piece of fish

I feel lazy when I watch these videos where everyone is bustling around doing great things, and then telling me about them in maybe a different language than their own, and all I'm doing is watching in the only language I understand. Pathetic huh?
