Monkfish and Samphire Pasty
Marc's homage to the Cornish coast with monkfish, samphire and creamy lemon sauce in short crust pastry with traditional pleated crimps. As someone living in Cornwall, he felt extra pressure.
Paul: 'You have the weight of the whole of Cornwall on your shoulders. You're lacking on the number of pleats. How many should it be? I think it's 20 or 21. I think you're about seven, eight short. The biggest problem for me is the color because they look a bit pale, especially this one here. You haven't brushed it properly. Flavor's good, but it's bone dry. Probably a little bit more cream. That would have really given you more moisture in the mouth. It's just a little bit too dry.'
