Three Fish Choucroute
From 1987 to 2009, Guy-Pierre Baumann was celebrated by gastronomes worldwide as the charismatic leader of the historic Maison Kammerzel, a gem from the 14th and 15th centuries nestled at the foot of Strasbourg's breathtaking cathedral. Chef Baumann carved a lasting name for himself by daring to revolutionize a cherished Alsatian staple with his iconic “three fish sauerkraut.” Naturally, reimagining a “gastronomic monument” like traditional Alsace Sauerkraut drew its share of criticism. However, over time, the outcome spoke for itself. Baumann’s version won over the hearts of gourmets across the globe—Alsatians included.
The recipe is deceptively simple: tender sauerkraut served alongside salmon, halibut, and smoked haddock (the latter echoing the smoky notes of traditional charcuterie), all crowned with a luscious, velvety sauce inspired by beurre blanc. It is truly an honor to present my humble interpretation of this one-of-a-kind seafood dish.
