Seafood Gratin with Prawn, Cod, Smoked Haddock and Salmon
John's quarter-final starter: a traditional seafood gratin of prawns, cod, smoked haddock and salmon, with the fish poached in milk and that liquid used as the base for the sauce, finished with a gratin crust under the grill. Each fish needs different timing to avoid over- or under-cooking.
Guest judge: "My prawns are still quite juicy, the cod is flaky, the salmon does melt away a little."
Guest judge: "The sauce is a little wishy-washy - it was under-seasoned for me."
Guest judge: "John is clearly a humble home cook, but I don't know whether this has been elevated enough for the MasterChef kitchen."
Judge: "The fish is nicely cooked. I'd like a little more fish flavor in the sauce. He's tried with the presentation - a nice seafood gratin."
