I thought this was absolutely delish. Better yet, so did the BF! Although I was missing a couple of the ingredients (sherry, as we don't cook with wine, and crab), I could see that the basic cream/cheese sauce would be amenable to practically anything. I didn't have crab meat of any sort in the house, so I skipped that addition entirely (however, I've now decided to make a point of keeping some canned fish in the pantry).The BF doesn't care much for nutmeg, so I substituted red curry powder, and I was very pleased to find that the spices do not overpower the fish flavor. I will definitely be making this one again. The recipe is manageable. The preparations are simple, and it makes for a quick but tasty main dish. Thank you, poo 235!
