How to Make Fish Noodles with Carbonara Sauce

Many moons ago I spent a week in Canada fishing. Moonlight Bay was about 200 miles North West of International Falls. The camp cook was an American Indian... we told our wives that she was 4' tall and 400 pound with only one tooth and one eye but a great cook. One of this dishes she prepared was a fish noodle with Carbonara sauce. I had never seen anyone else fix this so was excited to bring a new idea back from the Canadian backwoods. This recipe is simple but has more than a few ingredients. It has come to the time when we all roll up our sleeves, take off our rings, wash our hands, put on a pot of Columbian coffee and get cooking.

Fish Noodles with Carbonara Sauce

Ingredients

1 pound white fish filets (Lake white fish, Cod, Cat fish etc)

4 egg yolks (room temp)

4 egg whites (room temp)

1 Tablespoon red pepper flakes

1 Tablespoon sea salt

2 Tablespoon Garlic powder (divided)

½ pint whipping cream (room temp)

1 Cup Parmesan Cheese (Green Box stuff)

1 Tablespoon Black Pepper

½ pound deli bacon (diced)

2 Tablespoon brown sugar

First brown bacon in a heavy bottom pot, when it is about half done add brown sugar. When bacon is crisp remove skillet from heat and allow to cool. In a warm bowl whisk together room temp egg yolks, whipping cream, and 1 Tablespoon garlic powder. Set aside. Cube fish filets into 1" cubes and place in food processor.

Squeeze piping bag gently to put puree into a simmering (Not Boiling) water bath. Allow to simmer for 5-7 min. Crumble bacon, mix crisp Bacon and egg yolk mixture. Using slotted spoon or wire nest pick fish noodle from simmering water and place on platter. Pour Carbonara sauce over it and serve with a crusty bread and a tossed green salad.

Note:

I haven't yet tried this with caned salmon or canned tuna but it sounds like it would be delicious. It also would be a go to item when you have unexpected company arrive. The carbonara sauce is also great over store bought pasta for a quick supper.
