ingredients
- 8 large sea scallops (1 1/2 cups)
- 3⁄4 lb of your favorite white fish fillet (Cod or sea bass my favorite)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1⁄2 lb mushroom, sliced
- 1⁄4 cup sweet white wine or 1/4 cup sherry wine
- 1 1⁄2 - 2 1⁄2 lbs fresh mashed potatoes, about 5-8 large potatoes
directions
- Clean the scallops and cut in half, leave fish whole then simmer in the milk for 15 minutes.
- Strain, reduce the liquid cooking for 5 more minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoon of the butter and stir in the flour, cook for about a minute, stirring, then add the milk gradually, stirring all the time to avoid lumps.
- Season with salt and white pepper, add the sliced mushrooms and simmer for about 10 minutes longer; then add the sherry and finally the scallops and fish.
- When hot, transfer to an oiled 2 quart ovenproof dish and cover with mashed potatoes, making sure they cover the fish right to the edges.
- Dot with the remaining butter sprinkle with paprika and bake in a moderate oven, 350°F, for 20-30 minutes, or until the top is turning brown.
- 04/29/04- I made this again adding 2 sliced scallions and 1/4 cup green peas to the fish just before topping with potatoes.And used vermouth because I ran out of sherry.

This was tasty--though I substituted 1/2 minced onion and 1 cup of peas for the mushrooms. Also, next time I might make this as scallop and crab--and will probably pay more attention to my simmer to make sure I reduce the milk enough! (I had a bit of spillage and the potatoes sunk before I could smooth them to the edges!) Thank you for a very nice dinner!
