Suitable fish: blue cod, blue-eye trevalla, cod, monkfish, hake, pollack, snapper Suitable seafood: crab, lobster, peeled prawns, scallops
A seafood velouté with a crisp breadcrumb topping flavoured with a hint of truffle oil. I fry the fish first so that it doesn’t thin the creamy sauce in the pie as it cooks.
