Boil mussels with mussel vegetables, mussel
spices and a dash of white wine. Take ¾ of the
mussels out of their shells and strain the
cooking liquid.
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.
