- 3 egg whites
- 1/2 pound scallops, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 pound cleaned and deveined shrimp, chopped
- 1 pound sea bass fillet, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 pound salmon fillet, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- Cayenne pepper, to taste
- Pork casings, cleaned and soaked
- Fish stock or water, for poaching
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 2 cups well drained sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons sweet mustard
- 4 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
- Cook's Note: all ingredients should be as cold as possible.
- In a blender combine the egg whites, scallops, and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Blend until a puree is formed, then slowly add the heavy cream.
- When thoroughly mixed, pour into a metal bowl and put over a bowl of ice water.
- Add the shrimp, sea bass and salmon to the scallop mixture and gently fold to combine.
- Cook's Note: At this point you can do a test with the finished mixture by bringing a small saucepan of water to a boil over medium heat and adding a small amount of the mixture.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture floats to the top.
- Cool it in a bowl of ice water and taste.
- This will tell you if you've seasoned it correctly before you stuff the mixture into the casings.
- Stuff the seafood mixture into the pork casing, and tie into 4-inch links.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the fish stock or water to a simmer over low heat.
- Add the links and poach gently until cooked through.
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, heat the oil, then add the red onion and cook until translucent.
- Add the sauerkraut and mustard and cook for 4 minutes, then add the chopped tarragon.
- To serve, add a little sauerkraut to each plate and top with 2 seafood hot dogs.
