To make the sauce.

As the sauce is cooking.
In a shallow bowl, mix the beaten egg with the milk to create an egg wash.
Place the flour in a second shallow bowl or plate.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and warm the oil.
Dip each fish fillet in the egg wash and dredge in the flour.
Pan fry until a light golden brown, turning once.
Place the fillets on serving plates and top with sauce.
Note: The Caribbean Room serves these with tiny boiled potatoes with parsley.
