Jill and Harry (above) joined us for a little treat today with a trip to Chez JuJu, over near Salin de Giraud, for lunch. JuJu isn't isn't cheap, but frankly there is nowhere, that we have found, that cooks fish like it. It first came to our attention when it was mentioned by William (though he couldn't remember the name), then we saw it featured on Rick Stein's Seafood Odyssey, his trip down the Canal du Midi and onto Marseille, by barge.
As usual, Madame asked us to chose our fish which they sell by weight. She had sea bass, dorade and turbot on offer and whilst that was cooking, we ordered tellines with aioli to slurp on. As you sit in the dappled shade, Monsieur cooks the fish simply, right next to you, in a wood burning oven and, with a couple of bottles of picpoul, you feel that life just doesn't get better. It doesn't.
Sated, we drove over to the wilderness and the nearby etangs to discover that the flamingoes have returned in force. Excellent.
