  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 5

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups thinly sliced yellow onion
  • 1 cup thinly sliced fennel
  • 1 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 3 cups fish stock
  • ¼ cup heavy cream, divided
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (8-ounce) fillet halibut, skin removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ pound sea scallops, halved horizontally
  • ½ pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
  • 1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, fennel, celery, and carrots. Cook until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes.
  2. Stir in flour to coat vegetables and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add white wine; stir until it thickens slightly, about 15 seconds.
  4. Gradually stir in fish stock and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. Cook, stirring, until thickened into a creamy sauce, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Fold in halibut, scallops, shrimp, crabmeat, peas, and parsley. Simmer over medium-low heat until just warmed through but not fully cooked, 6–8 minutes.
  6. Ladle 2 cups of filling into each of five 18- to 20-ounce ramekins placed on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll puff pastry into 13″ squares and cut into quarters. Place one square over each ramekin, folding corners to fit.
  8. Whisk egg with remaining tablespoon of cream. Brush over pastry tops. Cut three small slits in the center of each. Garnish with parsley or fennel fronds if desired.
  9. Bake for 40 minutes, or until pastry is golden and filling is bubbly.
  10. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute cod or lobster for halibut if desired.
  • Clam juice or seafood-seasoned chicken broth can replace fish stock.
  • The filling can be made ahead and refrigerated; assemble with pastry before baking.
  • For freezer prep, assemble but do not bake. Wrap well and freeze for up to 2 months.
