North East Fish (11x32)

:

It is the fish course and two chefs, Tommy and Mini, have very similar ingredients - both are cooking mackerel. But Mini is trying an original beetroot sorbet while Tommy is using wild woodruff and oyster leaf from his own garden. Chris Archer has chosen the king of the sea, turbot, but there is controversy in the kitchen when he reveals he is discarding a precious oyster! The veteran judge is not impressed... And there is laughter when Mini tries a wholly original way of shaping his beetroot sorbet - the chefs are glad they don't have to do his laundry. The beauty of Tommy's presentation wows his competitors as he creates woodruff dew drops. Finally, when it comes to the judging, one chef struggles to contain his emotions - he can't believe what he is hearing.
