Creamy Fish Fillet

I decided to call this dish Creamy Fish Fillet instead of Butter Fish in order to avoid confusion because there are varies definition of butter fish. For example, Indian Butter Fish comes in mild curry form while the Malaysian Butter Fish comes with fine 'strings' of egg yolk is I am not mistaken. Even their presentation maybe be varies but most of the basic ingredients used are similar.
