"I find this to be a really nice change of pace. It has a rich flavor and appearance while managing to be healty. I like to serve this with mixed broccoli and carrots and a low fat biscuit."

Very nice fish recipe. I made bechamele slightly thicker so it would look better on the plate. Thanks for posting.

A nice and light sauce which compliments the fish well. I reduced the recipe to serve 2. This does make quit a bit of sauce. Next time around, I will decrease the cooking liquid that is added to the cream sauce. The grapes added a nice addition.

Wanted so much to like this recipe and although it was fairly easy to prepare, I found it was too salty and the sauce too runny. I was quite disappointed!

Wonderful light and fast weeknight meal. I found out this year how wonderful grapes are to cook with! They are completely different when cooked and added to a sauce like this. They impart a light, fruity flavor without adding a lot of sweet notes to the dish. Just the right balance. LOVED this recipe. The wine and lemon in here also round out the flavor and any slight sweetness the grapes add. Thank you for a keeper Annacia! I served this with some plain white rice, fish on top and sauce spooned over. Broccoli on the side completed the meal.
