Paul Ainsworth: "So, James, let's start with the trout."


James; "Yeah. The cure probably could have done with a bit longer."


 Paul Ainsworth: "You obviously had an issue with the smoker. Have you still got the same result you wanted?"


James; "I think so, yeah. I think I have."


Paul Ainsworth: " I don't really get the smokiness on the fish, but the cook on the fish is really good."


Paul Ainsworth: " I just think it could do a bit more season, a bit more flavor.


Paul Ainsworth: " The horseradish espuma has that worked?


James: "Maybe I could have done with a bit more on the plate."


Paul Ainsworth: " I really like that heat. Raw horseradish flavor to get hot and keep is really difficult to do."


Paul Ainsworth: "The golden beetroot, the branded beetroot, is that how you wanted it?


James: " I wanted, like, fondant texture so you could cut straight through it."


Final Judging

Paul Ainsworth: "James, for your dish. 276.33 miles per hour. I thought you celebrated Donald Campbell really well. The storytelling was excellent. You had an issue with your smoker, and unfortunately, that smoky flavor just didn't come through on that trout. Both the golden and the red beetroots, couldn't fault them. The horseradish espuma, you were a little bit concerned about it. I thought it was great. The issue is that the trout should have been the hero, and unfortunately, it wasn't."
