Cut the wahoo into bite size peices. Place the fish in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper.

Melt two tablespoons of butter in a frying pan. Add the fish pieces and cook until browned on all sides.

Add to the fish to the broth.

Melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter in a frying pan. Add approximately two tablespoons of flour, mix and cook for approximately two minutes. Add the milk gradually, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. When the mixture is thickened, add it slowly to the soup.
