Haddock wrapped in Parma ham with brandy sauce

So we were having a BBQ and thought we would create this dish. The inspiration came after having some Monk fish wrapped in Parma ham at my God daughters 2nd Birthday party. It was cooked to perfection and the creamy sauce they served with is it was very delicious. We used Haddock fillet in our recipe as there was no Monk fish left at the fish mongers. Give this a go and if you use monk fish instead of Haddock please look up on how to prepare Monk fish tails on Yourtube or Google.
