Method
Take the dover sole out of the fridge a couple of hours before cooking. The fillets will be easier to roll up and they need to be poached from room temperature.

Fry the shrimp shells and heads in some olive oil in a hot saucepan until they are red.
Add the dry vermouth to the shell and let it reduce by half
Crush the garlic cloves and add them. Add water until the shells are covered
Fillet the dover sole and chop up the head and bones and add to the seafood stock. Cover gain with water if needed.
Simmer the stock for ½ half an hour
Grate the peeled potatoes with a coarse grated
Squeeze out the excess water and pan fry the rösti’s in some olive oil with a large knob of butter. Fry them both size for about 7 mins until golden brown.
Cut the rösti in discs and keep warm in a preheated oven of 100c/210f
Strain the seafood stock and bring back to the boil
Season the dover sole fillets with salt & pepper. Roll them up and secure with a toothpick.

Carefully pour the stock from the bowls back in the saucepan. Cover the bowls with the fish parcels tight with the some alu foil.
Add a pinch of saffron to the seafood stock and reduce by half. When the stock is reduced by half place the bowls with fish in the oven with the röstis. You are about 10mins from finishing now.

Add the reduced seafood stock and 100ml of cream. Simmer for 10mins until slightly thickened and the vegetables are almost soft but you still want the to have a bit of bite.
Check the sauce for seasoning.
Pan fry the prawns quickly in a very hot frying pan with some olive oil.
Sautee the samphire in some butter for about 4 mins.
You are now ready to assemble the dish
Add a ladle of sauce to a preheated plate
