Pressure Test: Paul Carmichael's "Bajan Fish Fry" 2017
Arum, Callan and Nicole had three hours and forty five minutes to replicate a Bajan three-course meal - a fried snapper, a charred pumpkin with salted cod, a black pudding with cucumber and a spiced cucumber juice by guest chef Paul Carmichael. None of them managed to complete all the elements in their dishes, particularly in their pumpkin. Arum's cooking of the fish damaged the presentation, but his dishes stood out in the tasting. After Callan struggled throughout the challenge and won praise for his fish, his accompanying dishes were let down by lots of little details: too much spice and vinegar and his pumpkin was undercooked. However, despite being praised on her pumpkin as the stand out dish, it was Nicole's failure in deboning her fish and Nicole's first Pressure Test was enough to send her home.
