Oh that’s maddening! He should have it for breakfast and lunch until it’s finished. IMO pasta doesn’t go with fish or chicken- too similar texture.

You are obviously a more discerning eater than me. It sounds delicious. Still, you know for next time. Stick to traditional lasagna or fish pie. What didn’t you like about it?

Needed more salt.

If he loved it whats the problem

What goes in a seafood lasagne? Bechemal sauce and prawns don’t sound good to me

I’d have a big problem if I spent two hours cooking something I didn’t like!

Why aslong as someone likes it so it doesn't go to waste. Its ok to do nice things for others sometimes

FairViewRosie25 · 07/11/2026 22:21

DH liked it so there we go, I don’t eat much anyway

Why didn't he make it, if it was him that wanted it?

Dobedobedobedo · 07/11/2026 22:23

Next time he asks for it tell him he can make it himself. I'll sometimes cook things I don't really want myself if other family members want it but if it is difficult and time consuming they are probably only going to get it on a special occasion.

I’m practically bloody Mother Theresa. Two hours on a dish I didn’t enjoy and didn’t seem to be enjoyed by the requestor would boil my piss!! I might be projecting but eating very little would suggest it wasn’t that appreciated.

Edit: I misread and thought he’d not eaten much. Ach, I’d continue channeling M Theresa and have some toast after if he liked it. Wouldn’t rush to make it again though, or do one lasagne and one fish pie.

Béchamel just make me want to 🤮
I could pour cream in and bake, though.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 07/11/2026 22:59

I don’t think sea food lasagne would be for me either.

I think it needs to be a mince type sauce, like a bolognese, or a lentil version of that

MrsClatterbuck · 08/11/2026 00:01

Well I've had a seafood linguine before when out which was nice but more a white wine sauce.

StormKevin · 08/11/2026 00:03

I’m curious to know what makes up a seafood lasagne? Never heard of such a thing. Gives me the heebiejeebies

Well IME, living in Italy, seafood lasagne is a southern / Mediterranean dish and the seafood is in a tomato sauce, almost bouillabaisse like in its flavour, layered with thin sheets of lasagne and a minimal layer of béchamel on the top. I’m sure other variations exist though :)

foodyum · 08/11/2026 07:49

Ach, that's disappointing OP. I love seafood, and I love lasagna, but I think I'd be disappointed too. I'd still expect that rich mincey taste as I bit into it 😆. At least your DH liked it.

Right limit his TV time.

Stop him watching poncy Saturday morning food shows.
Stream Fanny Craddock and the galloping gourmet on a loop.

2 hours in a kitchen when it's not Christmas is out or order.

He's got a good un in you. Well done op!
