Remarks
You can, of course, use fish fillets other than whiting, depending on the season and location.

If you have old-fashioned mustard, use it instead of classic mustard, as the seeds add a little extra texture.

You can also add a dash of Espelette pepper to the mustard, to enhance the taste a little.
Keeping: Enjoy within minutes of removing from the oven.

This recipe really is "of the moment": the success of these small, highly-coloured cakes, in an infinite variety of flavours, is impressive. It's a recipe which needs some care, in order to produce a result worthy of a professional pastrychef. No problem, I will guide you through the recipe, particularly the tricky parts. This variety of flavours means that I test many alternatives, so don't be surprised if in the pictures the colour of the macarons changes, I used the best photograph available...
