Notes

  • You can use one type of fish, or mix it up and use 2 or 3 different types. You just want to ensure that you have 1.7lb/800g in total. See the bulk of the post for a longer list of great fish ideas. But some great choices are:
  • I tend to use my homemade shrimp stock for this recipe but you can use seafood stock or vegetable broth for this recipe.
  • I use low fat cream cheese here. Just ensure it has come to room temperature so it is soft and will melt easily.
