- Preheat an oven to 180 degrees C.
- Season the sea bass with salt and pepper then arrange in a baking dish and set aside.
- Melt the butter with the olive oil in a frypan over medium-low heat. Cook the shallots, garlic and parsley in the melted butter and olive oil until softened; about 5 minutes.
- Add the flour and stir continually until completely incorporated into the mixture and the liquid is smooth.
- Pour the cream and milk into the mixture while stirring then cook and stir until thickened. Season with the white pepper.
- Gently fold the crayfish tails and crab meat into the mixture taking care to not break the crab meat too much. Cook another 1 minute then spoon the mixture over the sea bass fillets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork; 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

This was an incredible dish that did not last long on our plates! I did not have cream so I used milk instead and the sauce came out fine. I also could not find crawfish and stuck with immitation crab. Overall with these adjustments it came out great and I am sure with the correct ingredients it tastes perfect!! - 30 Mar 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
