Delia’s smoked fish pie recipe - it’s so delicious! 😊

Poach fish skin side up in milk, handful of peppercorns, 2 bay leaves and an onion chopped huge.
After 25mins remove fish. It will flake. Place in oven proof dish.
Drain milk. Use this to make cheese sauce.
Add sauce to fish.
Bake with either cheesy mash, or grated cheese, tbspn of parsley and breadcrumb topping.

Um, Yorksha, you see to have left out the prawns and smoked fish of choice (or salmon!) and it's white sauce, not cheese! And ordinary mash on the top!

Don't forget to add sliced hard boiled eggs between the fish and mash.

Do yhe jamie oliver one.

Lots of the recipes I've found day to put hard boiled eggs in... Had no idea it was a thing!

You can't have a fish pie without boiled eggs
Slice them up, layer them over the fish and sauce and then put the mash on top.

Eggs and prawns, definitely! No fish pie is complete without them.
We quite like a cauliflower mash topping, too - the 6yo seems not to have spotted the difference...

Levi roots Caribbean fish pie

Yoksha’s here: fish should be a mix of salmon, smoked haddock and a white fish, pref with prawns too.

Cheese sauce and cheesy mash make it extra tasty.

Be careful not to overcook the fish.

Hairy Bikers ultimate fish pie!
Best get cracking though, a fish pie from scratch always seems to take me about 2 hours.

Jamie Oliver lemony fish pie - a winner every time!

We prefer a puff or filo pastry pie. Definitely a white sauce with NO CHEESE, I usually add lemongrass, coriander and sow fresh green chillis to give a Thai flavour. Fish - I use cod, salmon, smoked haddock, prawns and for a special occasion
some scallops.

My one yum.

Melt 25g butter in pan. Add 25g flour mix in. Whisk in 200-300 ml milk to make a roux. Season with plenty of salt and pepper. Add bay leaf. Bring to boil. Simmer.

Poach mixed fish/salmon/ in milk. Add prawns later as they cook fast. Don't overlook fish as it will cook later.

Make mash potato. Arrange milk/fish mixture in a pie dish, add sliced cherry tomatoes, pile mash on top and spread.

Put a handful of cheese on, cook in oven for 15 mins.

Keep some of the delicious sauce for on top! Serve with carrots and broccoli.

DELICIOUS!

Never heard of eggs in a fish pie. Cherry tomatoes all the way!

Oh my god I forgot the lemon and parsley to season the sauce at the end

Jamie Oliver fantastic fish pie without a doubt.

HarryDresden... You have time to come on and critique a basic regional fish pie recipe. Isn't it all about preference and what's available?

I wouldn't have the audacity to add a post like yours to any offer of a quick fish pie recipe.

We do it with lightly sautéed leeks in and a puff pastry top. I poach the fish in milk and use the milk to make the white sauce (or sometimes cheesy sauce)

Definitely needs a puff pastry topping, boiled eggs, smoked fish, white fish and salmon. And prawns. Mmmmm

Another vote for delia’s Luxury smoked fish pie

Ooh puff pastry topping. Never tried that. That's tea sorted for tomorrow! Bloody hell Yoksha bit harsh! I read Harrys reply in the spirit in which I assume it was intended, just the dreaded word lighthearted some suggestions for a fish pie.

Thanks for this thread. Think I'll make one for DP tonight, but with the breadcrumb topping. Will be easier to prep than making mash.

I nearly always put eggs in, but I think the last one I made I threw in spinach and tomatoes instead (after asking on here for a variant). No idea whatsoever how any of them taste, mind, as I can't stand fish, but DP never seems to complain!

Anyone.. You're right.

HarryDresden... Sorry. It did leave me feeling shit. No excuse.

Can't forget the spinach!
