Directions
Cut fish fillets in half lengthwise, then cut each section into ¾ inch slices.
In a large saucepan, place beer, water, onion, celery, salt, and thyme.
Heat to boiling.
Add fish, cover, and simmer 4 minutes, or until fish flakes.
Remove fish with a slotted spoon.
Drain well on paper towels. Boil stock 10 minutes to reduce.
Strain.
In another saucepan, melt the butter.
Stir in flour.
Add ¾ cup strained stock and the cream.
Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened.
Add a little hot mixture to egg yolk and return to pan.
Cook slowly, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and adjust seasonings.
Gently combine fish and sauce.
Spoon into scallop shells or individual ramekins.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Broil 2 minutes or just until tops are lightly browned.
