The sauce: make a roux and dilute with the cooking liquid of the mussels, cream, white wine and fish stock to a sauce thickness. Cut the leek and carrot into julienne and saute in butter. Add this preparation to the sauce and let it boil for a while. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Poach the cod and other white fish in the sauce but do not let it boil again. In a dinner plate: the fish sauce with the poached fish and the mussels with and without shells. Finish with chopped parsley and peeled grey shrimps.
