SOLE PIE
(Can also be made with filleted halibut or cod)
1% lbs. filleted sole in serving pieces

Poach in a shallow pan of milk until nearly done, but still holds its
shape. Carefully lift out pieces of fish and put in a large pie plate. Make
a medium white sauce using the milk the fish was poached in to thin
the sauce. Add to the white sauce — salt, pepper and 1% teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce. Pour this sauce over the fish. Slice an Avocado
lengthwise in thin slices and place in centre of pie to form a flower shape.
Place pie in oven to brown like a meringue. This will take only about 5
to 10 minutes. Bring to the table to serve. It looks very much like lemon
meringue pie and is mouth watering
