Martinican court bouillon is totally different from its French definition. In France, court bouillon is not intended to be consumed. It is a salt and pepper liquid preparation used for cooking fish, shellfish or vegetables. In Martinique, court-bouillon is the accompanying sauce for fish and other seafood recipes.
Cod being very present in the diet in the West Indies, our gastronomy presents many recipes based on this fish, such as cod court bouillon here.
