 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1       c            Flour
    1                    Pinch salt
    1                    Egg, lightly beaten
    4       ts           Oil
    1 1/2   c            Milk plus 1 Tbsp
      1/2   lb           Monkfish
    6                    Scallops
      3/4   c            Milk
    2                    Garlic cloves, chopped
      1/2   lb           Shrimp, shelled
    2       tb           Butter
    3       tb           Flour
      1/4   c            Light cream
    1       c            Gruyere Cheese
    2       tb           Parsley, fresh, chopped
    1                    Salt and pepper
    1 1/2   tb           Oil for frying
 
   Servings: 10
   
   Make pancake batter by mixing flour and salt in mixing
   bowl.  Make well in center and pour in the egg, 4 tsp
   oil and 1 cup milk.  Whisk to smooth batter then add
   remaining milk.
   
   Remove any skin from monkfish, rinse and cut into
   bite-size pieces.  Pat dry. Rinse and pat dry
   scallops, cut in half.  Pour 3/4 cup milk into
   saucepan, add garlic and bring to simmer.  Add all
   fish except shrimp. Simmer for 5-6 minutes then add
   shrimp. When shrimp turn pink remove all fish to a
   bowl and set aside. Strain fish milk and reserve for
   sauce. Place butter in saucepan and melt, add flour
   and stir for 2 minutes, then pour in reserved milk and
   the cream. Continue to stir and simmer for a few
   minutes until you have a smooth sauce. Turn heat to
   low, add cheese and parsley and season to taste with
   salt and pepper. Add fish, mix well.
   
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
   
   Place small frying pan or omelet pan over high heat.
   Lightly grease it with a little oil. Beat pancake
   batter, then pour 3 Tbsp into pan. Turn pan so bottom
   is covered evenly with batter and cook for 40-60
   seconds, turn and cook 30-40 seconds longer. Transfer
   to large plate. Continue with remaining batter. (There
   should be enough filling for 10 pancakes.) Place an
   equal amount of filling (about 3 Tbsp) in center of
   each pancake, fold the sides over filling and arrange
   in ovenproof dish just large enough to hold pancakes.
   Place in oven for 20 minutes, or until the pancakes
   are hot through.  Serve immediately.
   
   These thin pancakes, which conceal a tasty mixture of
   fish, will appeal to the masked and mysterious side of
   the Cancerian, who when in need of refreshment and
   quiet will reture into his or her own protective
   shell. These can be served as a first course or as a
   luncheon dish for four, with a green salad and a very
   chilled white wine.
