Cook the spinach and place in the centre of the plate. Put the seabass on top of the spinach, place the potatoes around the edge with the tomatoes on top. Put three piles of the savoury vegetables around and place the scallops on top. Pour on the red wine sauce and fine cordon of thick butter sauce and place the deep fried basil on top of the tomato petals.

Red wine sauce

Brown off the shallots and garlic in a thick bottomed pan with a splash of oil. Add the star anise and orange zest and stir for one minute. Add thyme and red wine, then reduce by half. Add the fish stock and reduce by one third. Add the veal stock and reduce to the required consistency. Taste for seasoning adding a pinch of sugar if necessary.

Butter sauce

Sweat the shallots with the tablespoon of butter. Add vinegar and wine and reduce down until a fifth remains. Add a drop of cream and whisk in the cold butter. Saeson with salt and pepper, cayenne pepper and lemon juice.
