I discovered this dish in a creamy leek and haddock in Cornwall at the famous St. Kew Inn near Bodmin. It was used as a lunch entree. But I think it's good any time of day, even for breakfast.

- Remove from heat, then carefully remove the fish from the milk. Keep aside the milk.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter until foamy, but not burned.
