Yield: 8 servings

      3 lb True cod
           (or white fish such as sole
           -- or flounder)
           Butter or olive oil
           Salt; to taste
           Freshly-ground black pepper;
           -- to taste
    1/2 c  Filberts; coarsely ground
           Juice of 1 lemon
           === SAUCE ===
      2 tb Butter
      2 tb Flour
      1 c  Clam juice or fish stock
           Salt; to taste
           Freshly-ground black pepper;
           -- to taste
    1/4 c  White wine
           Juice of 1/2 lemon

Divide the fish into 8 portions and place each in a buttered individual baking dish. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Brush each portion with melted butter and top with a tablespoon or so of coarsely chopped filberts. Sprinkle with a bit of fresh lemon juice. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish is tender but not dry. For the sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the flour. Cook for a moment, then add the clam juice or fish stock. Stir over medium heat until the sauce thickens. Add the salt and pepper and the white wine. Just before serving add the lemon juice to the sauce. Pour a bit of the sauce over the fish. This recipe serves 8 as an appetizer or 6 as a main course.

Comments: This dish is close to one served by Place Pigalle, a fine restaurant in Seattle's Pike Place Market.
