Method
Champagne Beurre Blanc: In small saucepan, boil shallot, wine, vinegar and pepper until reduced to 2 tbsp (25 mL), about 10 minutes.Reduce heat to low. Being careful not to boil, whisk in 1 cube of butter at a time just until each is melted. Cover and set aside. (Make-ahead: Set aside for up to 1 hour. Use at room temperature or rewarm in bowl over saucepan of hot water, whisking often.)
Sprinkle fish and shrimp with salt and pepper. In large nonstick skillet, heat one-third of the oil over medium-high heat; fry fish, in 2 batches, turning once and adding one-third more oil as necessary, until golden and fish flakes easily when tested, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet; keep warm in 250°F (120°C) oven.
In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; saute shrimp until pink, about 3 minutes.
Place fish on plates; top with shrimp. Stir tarragon into beurre blanc; spoon over shrimp and fish.
