- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced

- Preheat the oven to 400F
- Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Bake the cod fillets, uncovered, for 5 to 6 minutes, only until the cod flakes easily.
- Remove from the oven immediately to prevent overcooking.
- When cooled, break the fillets in half, lengthwise, and then break each half into approximately 1inch pieces and set aside.

- Do not allow the flour to brown.
- Add the milk and salt and bring to just below the boiling point, whisking constantly.
- Remove from the heat and keep warm (180F).
- Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat until fragrant, then saute the garlic only until white throughout.
- Add the sauteed garlic to the warm bechamel sauce.
- Add the sherry to the pan in which the garlic was sauteed, simmer strongly for 1 minute, and then add it to the warmed sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce.
- Bring saute pan back to medium heat and dry saute clams, shrimp, and crab meat for 2-3 minutes.
- Add cod and saute for 1 minute more.
- Pan ingredients should be fairly hot.
- Place the bechamel/garlic/pasta/sherry mix back onto low heat for a few minutes, then add the cooked cod, clams, shrimp, crabmeat and chopped parsley to the warm bechamel sauce and blend all ingredients thoroughly.
