Fish and Seafood Recipes

Yield: Serves 6

• 1 pint heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2-1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 1 pound fresh halibut put through a grinder or blender
• 4 egg whites

Scald the cream in the top of a double boiler, add the breadcrumbs, and stir to make a smooth paste. Add the butter, salts and fish, and blend thoroughly. Allow the mixture to cool and carefully fold in the egg whites, stiffly beaten. Pour into a lightly greased mold and place the mold in a large pan with about an inch of water in the bottom. Bake until set, about 1-1/2 hours, in a 350 degrees F oven. Unmold and serve with lobster sauce. Garnish with parsley or watercress.
