Note

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain texture.

Substitutions: Any firm white fish can be added to the mix. For a richer sauce, substitute heavy cream for light cream.

Tips: Ensure the seafood is fully drained before adding to the sauce to prevent a watery casserole. Crush the crackers finely for an even crust.
