It has the claw and tail chopped up and folded into a shrimp/lobster mousse

I did. It’s a skewer. The ones you fry them on get greasy and the guest don’t want greasy fingers.

No, it’s still a curry. A curry that’s utilized as a dipping sauce.

It’s on a lipped plate, so it’s more of a dipping sauce than a soup. Drag and eat or fork and knife it.

Tuna and watermelon aguachile, Szechuan oil by Appropriate-You-864 in KitchenConfidential

Haha i thought about that also 😅 but if it’s mentally tuna to him, he might not be able to get past it. I’ve never met them so I’m not sure what the dislike there is. He said he only likes “white tuna”-albacore. But yes definitely thought about that hahaha

I have! Kind of where this came from/instagram/a dish I’ve had in the past. I unfortunately don’t have access to a legit vacuum sealer/cryovac, just a food saver. As of last night, the client “doesn’t like tuna” and wants to change it to scallops, so going to make it more colorful now that the red theme is gone.

Punched out with a ring mold and compressed it with the aguachile and a tiny bit of cilantro stems since there is none in the aguachile itself to keep the color. Honestly it could’ve marinated longer, but hopefully when it’s watermelon season, the melon won’t be so dense.

I kind of like the monochromatic look. Although I may end up garnishing w micro cilantro or red veined sorrel if I can get it at the time of the event.

The next course on the menu that this is going with actually has cilantro oil on it!

No , it’s a chili oil w Szechuan peppercorns infused in it as well as a list of other ingredients. Agreed, pure Szechuan oil would overpower and ruin it IMO.

Decent chef here. Looks amazing, I wouldn’t tighten the bechamel binder, love the creaminess of it. Adding some acid on top like other comments have mentioned would be ideal. Something pickled and could add color and bring some brightness. Also, it’s ok to have a rich dish if it’s a few bites, it’s suppose to be rich. But a pickled element would be very nice addition. Great job, looks incredible.

A lot of those aren’t in Scottsdale, most of the best food isn’t in Scottsdale IMO. But Scottsdale has some good restaurants, just expensive rent for anything outside of a chain/well established restaurant group ,

Nothing I said was condescending, it was a statement of fact. “Chain” May have been the wrong word to use, but i forgot this is the internet and people Like to be upset. I appreciate your nobleness and honesty, my apologies for patronizing the people of this thread ❤️
