No, there are no sea creatures in this recipe. This is an old-fashioned dessert that is very cooling on a warm summer night. It's most unusual in that you pour the sauce on the pudding part after it is served. The fun of serving it, and the blending of textures, colors and flavors makes a very effective ending for a dinner party. Whoever Mrs. Fish was, she sure had a good dish here.
