French cuisine consists of cooking traditions and practices from France. At one time French cuisine was heavily influenced by Italian cuisine.  It was in the 17th century that some chefs led a movement that developed France’s own indigenous style by shifting it away from its foreign influences. Cheese and wine are a major part of the cuisine, playing different roles regionally and nationally, with many variations.
French cuisine was codified in the 20th century as the modern haute cuisine. Knowledge of French cooking has contributed significantly to Western cuisines and its criteria are used widely in Western cookery school boards and culinary education. 
French regional cuisine is characterized by its extreme diversity and style. Traditionally, each region of France has its own distinctive cuisine.

Roughly chop two tomatoes and puree the rest in the blender until nearly smooth. Set aside. Pat dry the fish slices with a absorbent kitchen cloth. Apply lemon juice and keep for five to ten minutes.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick pan, brush it with oil and place King fish slices. Cook on medium heat, turning once, for four to six minutes, or until fish is firm and opaque and just begins to flake. Serve each fish slice topped with about three tablespoons of prepared Creole style sauce.
