1 c Flour
1 Pinch salt
1 Egg, lightly beaten
4 ts Oil
1 1/2 c Milk plus 1 Tbsp
1/2 lb Monkfish
6 Scallops
3/4 c Milk
2 Garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 lb Shrimp, shelled
2 tb Butter
3 tb Flour
1/4 c Light cream
1 c Gruyere Cheese
2 tb Parsley, fresh, chopped
1 Salt and pepper
1 1/2 tb Oil for frying

Servings: 10

Make pancake batter by mixing flour and salt in mixing
bowl. Make well in center and pour in the egg, 4 tsp
oil and 1 cup milk. Whisk to smooth batter then add
remaining milk.

Remove any skin from monkfish, rinse and cut into
bite-size pieces. Pat dry. Rinse and pat dry
scallops, cut in half. Pour 3/4 cup milk into
saucepan, add garlic and bring to simmer. Add all
fish except shrimp. Simmer for 5-6 minutes then add
shrimp. When shrimp turn pink remove all fish to a
bowl and set aside. Strain fish milk and reserve for
sauce. Place butter in saucepan and melt, add flour
and stir for 2 minutes, then pour in reserved milk and
the cream. Continue to stir and simmer for a few
minutes until you have a smooth sauce. Turn heat to
low, add cheese and parsley and season to taste with
salt and pepper. Add fish, mix well.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place small frying pan or omelet pan over high heat.
Lightly grease it with a little oil. Beat pancake
batter, then pour 3 Tbsp into pan. Turn pan so bottom
is covered evenly with batter and cook for 40-60
seconds, turn and cook 30-40 seconds longer. Transfer
to large plate. Continue with remaining batter. (There
should be enough filling for 10 pancakes.) Place an
equal amount of filling (about 3 Tbsp) in center of
each pancake, fold the sides over filling and arrange
in ovenproof dish just large enough to hold pancakes.
Place in oven for 20 minutes, or until the pancakes
are hot through. Serve immediately.

These thin pancakes, which conceal a tasty mixture of
fish, will appeal to the masked and mysterious side of
the Cancerian, who when in need of refreshment and
quiet will reture into his or her own protective
shell. These can be served as a first course or as a
luncheon dish for four, with a green salad and a very
chilled white wine.
