Very refined dish for seafood lovers, it is not as difficult as it looks...but it takes some time.

It is worth it !

1- Cut the fish fillets into strips (you need a very sharp knife) ; cut the scallops thickwise (so that you obtain 2 disks from one).
2- In a frying pan, melt half of the butter with 2 Tspoons of olive oil ; over a medium-high flame, brown the fish and scallops for 5 minutes with salt & pepper ; keep aside.
3- Peel and mince the shallots ; peel the carrots ; prepare the leak (take outside leaves off and wash). Cut the leak into very small and thin sticks ; grate the carrotts not too thinly.
4- In the frying pan, melt the second half of the butter with the 2 left Tspoons of olive oil and brown the shallots for 3 minutes ; add the vegetables, brown for 3 more minutes, then add the wine and let simmer for 15 minutes (cover with a lid).
5- Add the cream which you will mix carefully with a wooden spoon ; let simmer for 5 minutes turning from time to time, then add the fish and scallops (do not mix) cover again and let simmer for 5 more minutes.
6- Adjust seasonning and serve right away.
