Nage De Poisson Recipe

Paule Caillat of Promenades Gourmandes, which offers cooking classes and market tours in Paris, suggests drinking a white wine, something slightly ‘mineral’ and dry like a Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley or a Sancerre with this French Atlantic coast dish. Since "nage" means swimming in French, the recipe's name comes from the idea that the fish are 'swimming' in the aromatic poaching liquid (the equivalent of a court-bouillon). Use white fish or a variety of seafood for this light, flavorful and classic French meal. -- Yasmin Fahr
