SAUCE

Wash 2½ lbs. of white fish and tie in a cheesecloth bag.

Remove fish from water, drain (keep fish stock), remove bones and skin. Cut into individual servings.

Sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in pan and saute clove crushed garlic, sherry, shrimp and mushrooms. Melt ¼ cup butter or margarine in saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour, pepper, celery salt and onion powder. Remove from heat and slowly add chicken bouillon cube dissolved in 1 cup of strained fish stock and milk. Add mushrooms and shrimp. Butter a baking dish and spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom. Lay fish on top of the sauce. Cover with remaining sauce. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Mimi, Haines, Alaska
