Cooking Fish with Champagne

In the culinary world, champagne doesn't just have a place on the table; it's also ideal for preparing your dishes. It elevates sauces, delicately flavors marinades, and can be used in meat recipes, such as our lamb leg with De Lozey champagne. You can also use it with seafood, like our lobster with De Lozey champagne, or in this case, with fish.

To cook and accompany your monkfish with champagne recipe, we recommend two champagnes. Our De Lozey Brut Tradition champagne or our De Lozey Blanc de Blancs champagne. The latter, lively and delicate, pairs particularly well with fish.

We will use De Lozey champagne to create a delicately flavored poaching liquid for the monkfish. The rest of the champagne will be used to make a beautiful creamy sauce.

But now it's time to get into the kitchen and start preparing your monkfish with champagne recipe.

Monkfish with Champagne Recipe

To prepare your monkfish with champagne recipe, we recommend using a brut champagne. Our De Lozey Brut Tradition champagne is perfect for this. You can also prepare this recipe with our 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs champagne. Used to create a creamy sauce, it will subtly and delicately infuse it with citrus notes.
