Recipe by Chef Lulubelle in N

The date on top of the page of this recipe is Dec. 14, 1995. I've been making it ever since and passed the recipe to many friends and family members. I usually put the salmon and/or haddock, cod in last so it will not all fall apart when mixing. I usually just use crotons for topping, plain or garlic. I serve this with white or wild rice, can also be served with pasta or alone...or with anything you want.
