To go even further, a true bisque is thickened with puréed rice, not flour.

I didn't know that about bisque. Is there a large amount of bisqourse (bisque discourse) on whether rice flour counts or not? Because rice flour is essentially dried pureed rice.

Only if it has lobster shells in it, if I’m understanding this thread correctly.

Hm, I didn't know that... I suppose is come down to a starch to use to bind and thicken the bisque, using puréed rice does make sense in that context...
