1/4 pound walleye fillets, cut into pieces
1/4 pound cooked lobster meat, broken into chunks
1/4 pound cooked crabmeat
1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Chenin Blanc)
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of shrimp soup (such as Campbell's®)
1 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
2 Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and green onions; cook and stir until mushrooms softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp and walleye; cook and stir until shrimp begin to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add lobster and crab; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
3 Stir in white wine and sherry; bring to a simmer and cook until shrimp and walleye are no longer translucent in centers, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup bread crumbs, soup, half-and-half, and Cheddar cheese until cheese melted and mixture is bubbly. Transfer to a casserole dish; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dot with cold butter.
4 Cook under the preheated broiler until butter has melted and bread crumbs are golden brown.
