Note

Use firm white fish like cod, haddock, or pollock for best results.

Turkey stock adds depth, but fish or vegetable stock works well for a lighter flavor.

Do not boil the milk or fish vigorously, as this can cause the milk to curdle and the fish to become tough.

For a creamier texture, you can substitute half the milk with heavy cream.

Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers.
