HINTS & TIPS

Be sure to season the fish mousse after blending it, seasoning a fish mousse like this before and during blending can make the mousse firm and tough
Try this with cheaper cuts of fish like the tail pieces. Sometimes fish mongers will sell the tail pieces separately and at a cheaper cost
