Devilfish + Hedge mustard
<i>Myoxocephalus</i> is a genus of fish in the sculpin family Cottidae. Most species live in marine waters, but there are also three freshwater species, including two that occupy northern lakes (<i>Myoxocephalus quadricornis</i> and <i>M. thompsonii</i>). The name is derived from Greek <i>myos</i> (muscle) and <i>kephale</i> (head). (Wikipedia)
Hedge mustard (Sisymbrium officinale) is a plant in the family Brassicaceae. It is found on roadsides and wasteland, and as a weed of arable land. A native of Europe and North Africa, it is now well-established throughout the world.
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Devilfish and Hedge mustard, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.
Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Devilfish and Hedge mustard overlap on 20 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
