Top with bay leaves\, salt and pepper\, sprinkle thyme all across the top of the fish. \n3. Melt butter in another pot and cook onion until soft. Add flour\, then cream. Thicken. Then add fish and fish water. \n4. Add potatoes and potato water to fish\, etc. Season with salt and pepper and thyme to taste. (I have to wait till it has settled before I can judge salt and pepper.) \n5. Add sherry. Warm up or store in refrigerator\, and further thicken if necessary.
