Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 lb Firm white fish fillets 1/4 lb Mushrooms
-- (very thick), 2 sm Onions (or more)
-- preferably halibut, 8 Cherry tomatoes
-- turbot or monkfish 1 Lemon
1/4 lb Streaky bacon Oil

-------------------------------FOR THE SAUCE-------------------------------
2 ts Honey 1 1/2 tb Tarragon vinegar
1 Egg yolk 1/4 pt Sunflower or safflower oil
1 tb (rounded) French mustard

Cut the fish into large cubes, put it into a dish and sprinkle with
lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cut the onions into wedges, put them into a
separate bowl with the mushrooms, add a good grinding of pepper, and oil
and lemon juice - in the ratio of 2 tablespoons oil to 1 tablespoon lemon.
Leave to absorb flavours for an hour or more. Halve the bacon rashers,
de-rind them, stretch and roll them up loosely.

The sauce can also be made in advance. Beat the honey, mustard and egg
yolk together in a small bowl. Add the vinegar, a spoonful at a time,
whisking it in with a balloon whisk or fork. Then add the oil, pouring it
from a jug in a thin stream and whisking the contents of the bowl all the
time as you pour. Continue whisking for about a minute until the sauce is
a homogeneous thick cream, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Close to serving time, thread the fish, onions and mushrooms on to
skewers, adding the bacon rolls and tomatoes here and there. Grill for 10
minutes or so under medium-high heat, turning and basting occasionally with
the marinade liquid. Serve immediately with a dish of rice and hand round
the sauce separately.
