Fish
Whole
Whole langoustine is the live or iced animal complete with head, claws, and tail—the form preferred by chefs who want maximum freshness and shell stock. Live animals should be lively; dead whole stock must be iced hard and used immediately because enzymes soften the tail flesh rapidly. Grill or roast whole after a quick kill and split, or separate tails for the plate and heads for bisque. Presentation of whole grilled langoustines is a seafood-restaurant classic. Handle claws carefully—they pinch and the shell is sharp.
