agree  Natou: It's "poissonnier" with 2 n. Also to avoid confusion with the other and more common "Poissonnier" (cuts and sells the fishes), I would say "Chef Poissonnier".

agree  Laurie Henkinbrant: with Natou - it's Poissonnier. See the Trésor de la langue française : http://atilf.atilf.fr/Dendien/scripts/tlfiv5/advanced.exe?8;...
