Best Sarasotas Scalloped Fish Casserole Recipes
SARASOTA'S SCALLOPED FISH CASSEROLE
Several years ago, I had this great dish from a small "Seafood Shack," a little Hole in the Wall restaurant up in CT. I got some of the ingredients from the waiter, but this is my version. Now they served it in individual casserole dishes, as I do, but this can easily be made in a larger 13x9 casserole dish. It is pretty basic but so comforting. Cod or halibut or haddock, potatoes, and cheese in a creamy sauce with a crunchy topping. One note ... don't use bread crumbs / use cracker crumbs, use milk / not cream, use leeks and gruyere or swiss / not cheddar. Great dish. Now it does cook a while, but doesn't take long to put together. I like to make this and then go ahead and make a vegetable side dish. I like to serve this with some broccoli raab. Nothing else needed.

Steps:
- Fish -- In a small pot topped with a steamer or colander, add enough water to the bottom so you can steam the fish, but you don't want too much water so when it boils it comes through the steamer or colander. Cook on a low boil. Add the fish and cook the fish for 4-6 minutes until opaque. Remove to cool in a small bowl. Then lightly break up, don't flake, just break up. Just keep in the bowl for right now.
- Potatoes and Leeks -- Add the potatoes and Leeks to the same steamer or colander and cook 6-8 minutes until tender. Don't over cook, just slightly tender. Remove and add to the bowl with the fish. Reserve 1/2 cup of the water to use in the sauce.
- Sauce -- Using that same pot, the bottom half only, melt the butter and then stir in the flour and cook for just a minute on medium heat until you have a nice roux or thickening agent. You don't want it to brown. Then add in the milk, reserved water, salt and pepper and cook on medium until the sauce thickens. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Then finish by adding the sherry wine and cheese. Cook on low until the cheese is melted.
- Topping -- Just mix the cracker crumbs, melted butter and parsley.
- Casserole -- In a 13x9" pan, spray with Pam or a non stick stick spray and add the fish and potatoes. Then pour the sauce over the casserole and finish with the cracker crumb topping.
- Bake -- Loosely cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 35-40 minutes. After 15 minutes remove the foil and continue cooking. Cooking until brown and bubbly.
- Serve -- A nice side of broccoli raab and you don't need anything else. A perfect cold night dinner.

SCALLOPED SALMON CASSEROLE
My mother-in-law made this casserole for her family and when I joined the family I found I liked her Scalloped Salmon much better than the Salmon loaf my mom made. An easy dish to put together for a quick week night supper with a vegetable and a salad.

SARASOTA'S SUPREME SMOKY SCALLOPED POTATOES & HAM
The best way I know to use up Holiday ham. Now I cook ham all the time, almost once every 6 weeks or less, so I love to keep bags of chopped ham in my freezer. There are so many great uses and this is one. I love to use a smoky gouda for this and a little bacon and onion which just takes this dish over the top. Otherwise it is a pretty basic scalloped potato recipe. Give it a try for dinner one night. I serve this with a fresh salad and nothing more. It is rich, deep in flavors and a perfect way to use up some of that ham in the freezer.

Steps:
- Bacon -- In a small sauce pan, heat to medium and add the bacon and saute slowly, not butter or oil needed. Just go slowly and crisp until golden brown and crisp. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
- Onions and Celery -- Now in the same pan with the bacon drippings (just keep 1 teaspoon of the drippings), you don't need any more. Just toss out any additional drippings. Saute your onion and celery until tender. It should take around 4-5 minutes if that on medium heat. Add the bacon and a little salt and pepper and set to the side.
- Ham and Potatoes -- Just have them thin sliced and diced and ready to go.
- Sauce -- In a medium size pot, medium heat, add the butter and melt. Add in the flour and mix well to combine. Cook on medium low until the butter and flour are well combined. Slowly add in the milk and cream while stirring constantly as well as the salt/pepper and cayenne. Stir well and cook on medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Add in the cheese (gouda and cheddar) stir until melted. If the sauce is a bit thick, just add a little more milk. I like happen to like mine thick, but my Mom always liked them a bit thinner, so I always added a little more milk when I made it for her. That is just personal taste.
- Casserole -- Spray a 13x9" or any similar casserole dish with non stick spray. Layer 1/3 potatoes, 1/2 the vegetables, 1/2 the ham, 1/2 the cheese sauce; then repeat. Top with potatoes and the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and a sprinkle of paprika for the topping.
- Bake -- I bake mine in a 350 oven for 30 minutes, covered with foil, then uncover and cook another 20-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
