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.
