Fish Soup

Caviar House selects for you a lobster soup with cognac, prepared in Brittany by a small company set just 100 metres from the harbour. Being so close to the harbour allows freshly caught fish and live lobsters to be prepared, with the same exacting standards as the rest of our seafood.

A rich, velvety bisque with deep marine notes, our soup stands out for its artisanal preparation and for the cognac pairing that brings roundness and a singular aromatic complexity.

Practical and ready to heat, it makes a natural choice as a quick gourmet starter, for a dinner where you wish to offer a carefully made first course with no preparation time.

A small touch of crème fraîche at the moment of serving extends the creaminess, and a glass of dry white wine pairs particularly well with the richness of the lobster.

FAQ: our expert answers your questions

What sets an artisanal bisque apart from an industrial soup?
An artisanal bisque is made from whole, fresh lobsters, whose flesh, coral and shells are slowly cooked and concentrated. Our Breton partner works exclusively with live lobsters, which guarantees the utmost freshness. The texture is richer, the aroma deeper, the colour more natural. Industrial soups, by contrast, often rely on flavourings and thickeners to reproduce a uniform taste.
Why cognac?
Cognac is a classic of lobster bisques. It brings a roundness and a singular aromatic complexity that extend the marine notes of the lobster. Its use stems from a tradition of fine French gastronomy, in which cognac is employed to flambé shellfish and release their most subtle aromas. In our soup, it is added at the end of cooking to preserve its notes.
How much should you allow per person?
Allow around 200 to 250 ml per person as a starter, and 350 to 400 ml as a main course. A tin or a jar is therefore enough for two to four guests as a starter. For an amuse-bouche presentation, allow instead 80 to 100 ml per guest, in a small glass or an aperitif spoon.
Which drink pairs well with lobster soup?
A brut champagne, ideally a blanc de blancs, pairs particularly well with the richness of the bisque and the delicacy of the lobster. A dry, structured white wine, such as Meursault or Chassagne-Montrachet for grand occasions, also plays on complementarity. For more accessible choices, a Chablis Premier Cru or a Pouilly-Fumé extends the marine minerality.

The bisque, a classic of French gastronomy

The lobster bisque belongs to the classic repertoire of fine French gastronomy. Made from shells that are slowly cooked, concentrated and passed through a sieve, it calls for time and precision. Our Breton partner, set just 100 metres from the harbour, carries this tradition forward in an artisanal approach, from live lobsters. The closeness of the harbour guarantees the freshness of the raw ingredients and gives the bisque its full aromatic depth.

Beyond the lobster, it is the cognac pairing that gives our bisque its signature. The cognac, added at the end of cooking, releases its complex aromas and extends the marine notes of the lobster. The result is a soup both generous and refined, equally at home on the table of a festive dinner or as an amuse-bouche. A simple touch of crème fraîche, and the tasting steps straight into the world of gastronomy.
