Chef de Parties are often divided into a hierarchy of their own, starting with âFirst Cookâ, then âSecond Cookâ, and so on as needed.

This is usually the highest position of all the stations. Fish Chef (Poissonier) â Prepares fish dishes and often does all fish butchering as well as appropriate sauces.
