Hey everyone, I hope you are having an incredible day today. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, fish pie. One of my favorites. For mine, I will make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
The fish pie was delicious and I'd have been happy if served it in a restaurant. Here's the recipe for Bentley's Fish Pie. Fish expert Mitch Tonks' fish pie recipe has bags of flavour from the smoked haddock, prawns and cod.
Fish Pie is one of the most popular of current trending meals in the world. It is easy, it is fast, it tastes yummy. It is appreciated by millions every day. Fish Pie is something that I have loved my entire life. They’re fine and they look wonderful.
To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook fish pie using 9 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Fish Pie:
- Prepare 600-700 g mixed fish. I usually use 200g salmon fillet, 200g smoked haddock and 300g cod loin. (Give or take!) Alternatively, just buy a couple of packets of mixed fish at the supermarket
- Prepare 150 g king prawns
- Get 1 carton cheese sauce (ideally c.350g but carton volumes vary)
- Make ready 2 eggs
- Take 650 g potatoes. More potatoes can be used if the casserole is big enough and if a deeper topping is wanted
- Take Butter and milk (for mashing)
- Make ready A few capers (optional)
- Prepare Sea salt and pepper
- Prepare 2-4 cherry or similar tomatoes (optional garnish), sliced
Scatter with the grated cheese and put the pie immediately in the oven. Combining fish, leeks, milk, butter, and potatoes, a fish pie is a one-pot supper dish. Some like to sprinkle a fish pie with grated cheese but this is optional, as is the addition of hard-cooked eggs seen in some recipes. Serve the pie with peas or other fresh greens.
Instructions to make Fish Pie:
- Hard-boil the eggs, cool and peel. Cut each egg in half, lengthways.
- Simultaneously poach the fish in a large, shallow pan. I usually just bring to the boil and after 1 minute turn off the heat and leave on our electric hob to cool for 5 minutes. A gas hob might require a bit longer simmering.
- Drain the fish and lay into a casserole dish, removing any skins and bones as you do so. Try to mix the varieties up a bit so that each portion will have some of everything.
- Wipe the prawns on some kitchen paper and add to the casserole, plus the optional capers if desired.
- Add the cheese sauce and gently but thoroughly mix.
- Gently push the halved, hard-boiled eggs yolk-down into the mixture, spaced so that each portion contains a half-egg.
- Boil the potatoes and mash them with a generous amount of butter and a little milk. The mash needs to be firmish, definitely not sloppy, but capable of spreading.
- Using a dessert spoon or similar, gently top the casserole mixture with the mashed potato and spread the mash out with the back of the spoon to ensure a thorough and even coverage.
- Draw the tines of a dinner fork “backwards” to create a light ridging effect. This step will help to get some crispy highlights in the end-product but can be omitted.
- Add the garnish of sliced tomatoes if wished. Indeed, add any garnish that you’d like!
- Place the casserole on the middle shelf of the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes at Gas Mark 5 or the equivalent on an electric oven - my Neff Circotherm setting is 160C.
- Serve piping hot with vegetables of your choice. Frozen peas are a quick and easy choice. I like broccoli and carrots with this dish.

One of the givens of most fish pies is the mashed potato crust, making it the fishy equivalent of a cottage pie, or shepherd's pie. It can be thick, thin, swirled, piped, or flattened, but it's always lightly crisped in the hot oven, and utterly delicious. Cut up the potatoes, and boil in lightly salted water until tender; drain, add the butter, sour cream and milk, mash until smooth, seasoning with salt and pepper.
