Ingredients

2 pounds fish head (preferably grouper), eyes, gills and scales removed

1 medium onion, peeled

2 ribs celery, including tops

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon white pepper

4 1/2 cups water

3/4 cup chopped green onion with top

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup chopped fresh chives

To make fish stock, combine fish head, whole onion, celery, salt and white pepper in a large pot. Cover with water. Bring pot to a boil, reduce heat, cover pot and cook 30 minutes. Remove fish from pot and allow to cool.

(Just buy a jar of fish stock powder unless you have a fish head laying around somewhere)

Separate fish into pieces that resemble picked crabmeat and set aside.

Discard celery and onion from stock.

Saute chopped green onion and garlic in butter until tender.

Stir in flour, stirring until well blended.

Slowly add 2 cups of the fish stock, continuing to cook until smooth and bubbly.

Slowly add cream and milk.

Add crab and all pieces shredded fish

Add sherry and lemon-pepper seasoning.

Simmer until piping hot.

Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve topped with cheese and chives.
