Fish & seafood create quick, hearty bisques as they are full of flavor & are easily prepared.

Be sure not to overcook. In other words, remove from the heat as soon as it’s cooked through.

When bisque is served, present some seafood pieces outside the bowls.

How to Cook Seafood Bisque:

To prepare seafood bisque, use fresh fish. You can use frozen, but the flavor will be better the fresher it all is.

Be sure not to overcook the fish or shellfish. Poach them separately to better control the conditions.
