Chef's Note

If you wish to mellow the beer flavor, you can replace 500 ml to 1 liter of the beer with fish stock.

Ingredients

Ingredients for 6 servings

- 2 liters (8 cups) dark beer

- 2 kg (4 1/2 lb.) lean fish (dab, pollock, cod, monkfish, turbot, etc.)

- 250 g (9 oz.) white mushrooms

- 100 g (3 1/2 oz.) shallot

- 100 g (3 1/2 oz.) onion

- Thyme, bay leaf, parsley stems

- 25 g (1 oz.) brown sugar

- 1 slice of country bread or gingerbread

- 50 g (2 oz.) flour

- 80 g (1/3 cup) butter

- 50 ml (3 tbsp.) oil

- Salt and pepper

Method

Remove the heads from the fish and gut them; place the fish in cold water to remove any impurities.
Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the onions, shallots and mushrooms. Tie the bouquet garni with a piece of string.
Pat the pieces of fish dry, flour them and sauté briskly in the butter and oil; add the onions, shallot and mushrooms.
Add the beer, bouquet garni, salt, pepper, bread and brown sugar; cover and cook gently for about an hour.
Serve in the cooking pot after removing the bouquet garni.
