Sea Scallop And Cod Pie Topped With Mashed Potatoes

• 8 large sea scallops (1 1/2 cups)
• 3/4 lb of your favorite white fish fillet (Cod or sea bass my favorite)
• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 lb mushroom, sliced
• 1/4 cup sweet white wine or 1/4 cup sherry wine
• 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 lbs fresh mashed potatoes, about 5-8 large potatoes

1. Clean the scallops and cut in half, leave fish whole then simmer in the milk for 15 minutes.
2. Strain, reduce the liquid cooking for 5 more minutes.
3. Heat 2 tablespoon of the butter and stir in the flour, cook for about a minute, stirring, then add the milk gradually, stirring all the time to avoid lumps.
4. Season with salt and white pepper, add the sliced mushrooms and simmer for about 10 minutes longer; then add the sherry and finally the scallops and fish.
5. When hot, transfer to an oiled 2 quart ovenproof dish and cover with mashed potatoes, making sure they cover the fish right to the edges.
6. Dot with the remaining butter sprinkle with paprika and bake in a moderate oven, 350u0b0F, for 20-30 minutes, or until the top is turning brown.
