Meanwhile melt the butter in a large saucepan and saute the onion until soft. Add flour to butter and onions and whisk until smooth, add milk and continue to whisk until thickened. Add potatoes and some of the potato water if desired to thin the soup. Last add fish and heat through gently, do NOT let it come to a boil.
