Fish Pie

Finally after weeks of craving and with enough time for this dish in several steps

Would serve 6 normal people with some peas and vegetables , but 4 people like me who if they really tried could eat the whole dish over the course of an evening

Fish Pie

500g of fresh fish ( I used 500g of fresh salmon , smoked cod )
750g of potatoes

Milk half a pint
White wine – 1cup
Onion – 1 roughly sliced
Garlic 3 cloves finely chopped
Parsley
Thyme
3 eggs boiled and quartered

  1. Boil the potatoes drain and mash with plenty of butter
  2. Add the milk to saucepan with the onions garlic and fresh herbs
  3. Bring to the boil and add the fish on a gently simmer for 5 minutes
  4. Remove the fish and check through for bones , place the fish in a oven proof dish with the boiled eggs
  5. add a knob of butter to saucepan , add a tablespoon of plain flour
  6. slowy add the milk/herb mixture forming a roux sauce , whisking well
  7. Add the white wine and season with salt and pepper

    My husband ate one of these when we honeymooned in England. He “oohed” and “aahed” do much over it, yet I’ve never made one. With our 13 anniversary coming up, maybe it’s time to try? ;)

    Sorry I am very bad at putting in how many people dishes serve, but how have added a bit now . I reckon six with some vegetables the dish in a oval one about 30cm long and and 20 cm wide but sloping sides like a small shoebox . Hope that helps .
