Note

Milk Substitution: You can substitute 5 oz of milk and 5 oz of cream for a richer sauce if desired.

Cheese Variation: Although not traditional, stirring 2-3 oz of grated cheddar cheese into the sauce before adding the fish creates an extremely tasty, richer dish.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain the texture of the potato topping.
