That's going to be a lot of fiddley-fussing for 14 people. By the time you have rolled the last sole fillet, you will be hating it, and about ready to wish you had thought of fish sticks!
How about a cioppino? You could make it ahead and add the mussles and clams as you reheat it.
Or how about a fillet en papiolotte?....could be cod, snapper, halibut, salmon or whatever you wish.
Put your seasonings on and roll up in oiled paper and stick in the refrig.....then get them out and bake until done.....about 20 to 25 minutes depending on what you put into it.
If that sounds good I ( and likely several others) will look through out recipes and come up with something concrete.
It's a very nice presentation, you put this little puffed parchment package on each plate and either cut an X in the top or let each diner do that.....and for a party it's neat and clean to do!

This Salmon dish a relatively easy to prepare and serve at a dinner party. The prep work,

, can be done in advance and the fish cooked at the last minute. I've served it many times to guests.

Teri, I'm not sure what part of the States you live in, but if you can get fresh halibut that is another fish that you can prepare various ways right up to the

Here's a lovely little recipe which I made for our last virtual dinner which was around Valentine's Day:

{{!gwi}}
Serving Size : 4

Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------------------
1 lg French lettuce
16 lg Jumbo Shrimp
2 lg pink Grapefruit

For dressing:
1/4 c Orange juice
1/8 c Vinegar
1/4 c Olive oil
1/8 c Corn oil
1/4 c Green olives chopped
1/4 c Onion chopped
1/4 c Parsley chopped
1 t Cayene pepper
1 t Paprika (spanish pimenton)
Salt and pepper

Cook the shrimps as usual, peel them. Peel the
grapefruit and separate each piece, also peel the
white skin, being careful to get the complete pieces.
Prepare the dressing by mixing all the ingredients.

To serve: put the lettuce leaves on the dish, adorn with the grapefruit and shrimp.

Put the dressing on top and serve.

This salad will be better if the dressing can be prepared two hours before.
