9. For Fish Veloute Sauce, melt the butter in a heavy saucepan. Stir in flour and cook very slowly until flour starts to change color and turn golden brown. Heat the clam broth (or fish stock/court bouillon), then add to the roux a cup at a time, mixing all the time with a wire whip. Skim when necessary. Add the remaining ingredients and cook very slowly for 1 hour, stirring often. Skim when necessary. When the sauce is the consistency of heavy cream, remove from heat. Strain through a fine sieve and cool. Stir occasionally while cooling to prevent a skin from forming on the top. Cover and store in refrigerator. Use within 1 week.
