Fricassee was originally a stew of meat, shellfish or fish or vegetables in a white or brown sauce. The recipe we are offering you today does not fit into the original definition which has evolved over time and includes many more varieties. This is a perfect recipe if you want to have sauce with your lobsters in order to simply add rice or légumes pays.
