Recipe #8 Seafood Puffs

"Try this recipe ...as served at Boston's famous seafood cafes! (frozen fish from California, go figure.) I think the taste was fine, meringue tartar sauce, but I overcooked the flounder and had too much lemon when I baked it.

1 pkg. Captain's Choice Fillets
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 egg separated
Dash cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons chopped pickle
1 tablespoon parsley

Partially thaw fillets. Combine mayonnaise, pickle, pepper, parsley. Beat egg white until stiff; stir in egg yolk. Combine with mayonnaise mixture; spread evenly over top of fish 2 minutes before end of broiling. Broil 2 to 3 minutes, or until sauce has puff and is golden brown. Serve immediately. Makes 1 cup sauce, enough to cover 4 to 6 servings.

  1. So are we going to try this with real fish, or are you determined to stay true to Mom's preference for frozen blocks of white?
