    This is so good! My whole family loved it. I served it with a salad and a loaf of crusty bread. My grocery store didn't carry watercress so I chopped up a little parsley to add some color. I had to substitute cod for the hake.

    Agree with everyone else that this was great! The leeks, scallions, and watercress were so flavorful together. The potatoes needed 20-25 minutes to get to the right texture. I kept my pan covered while cooking and had no problems with generating enough broth.

    Pg. 307. We liked this a lot! I used Mahi-Mahi in place of the Hake and half-and half in place of the heavy cream. The major issue I had with this recipe is that there was very little broth -- I had to add more chicken stock just to keep it a little moist. Still, it tasted great and we both had second servings.

    Very nice. I used baby bliss instead of the yukon gold called for. Really like the addition of the watercress, its bitterness not only cut the richness of the broth but also give the dish a new dimension in taste.

    Pg 307 He is right that this is very quick comfort food. I had Mahi Mahi on hand and used that instead of the Hake and it held up quite well. Although next time I might only give the fish and shrimp 8 minutes of simmering in the pot as they were a bit overdone at 10 minutes. The broth is very nice, and still plenty rick with only a 1/2 cup of cream (added a bit more stock to compensate). My potatoes took closer to 20 minutes, but were lovely and toothsome with the fish. Spencer also quite liked this, most likely because it has some chowder like components.
