Method

Warm the butter in a large bowl in the microwave, until just melted. Beat in the cream, lemon juice, a little salt and plenty of black pepper.
Roughly flake the fish straight into the bowl (checking for any bones). Mix in gently to keep some texture. Cover and chill.
Take out of the fridge 20 mins before serving. Spoon onto plates and garnish with pea shoots, add toasted baguette slices and lemon cheeks or wedges.
