I have fish pie mix but I don't want fish pie...

[mmmmmchocolate]

It's got pieces of salmon, smoked haddock and cod in it. The thought of peeling, cooking and mash

*mashing potatoes is beyond me today.

make a risotto with it? if you're up to all the stirring, that is.

Fish curry/stew/chowder?

Just fish in a sauce - served with some potatoes or chips or rice?

Or fish pie mix, in a sauce made in to a pie using ready made pastry instaed of potato??

Make a simple creamy sauce and serve with pasta?

Bouillabaisse?

sod it. I'd put it in the freezer and get take out

You could make a fish pie but just have a lancashire hotpot topping - you don't need to make mash then (I agree sometimes the thought of peeling, boilgin and mashing spuds makes me feel tired) you can just slice them and layer on top.

Actually what Mcphee said.

what is fish pie mix?

mcphee that made me

Oh mcphee that would have been my first idea :) but I got it out of the freezer this morning!

Getorf- would the fish over cook whilst the potatoes were cooking? I like that idea next time I can't be arsed to make mash for cottage pie

All fab ideas but liking the look of the simple sauce and pasta! TBH I've just made a lemon drizzle cake and would be quite happy with the whole cake a slice of that. The tea is just for the children's benefit. :)

with all the extra fish would make a great supper dish

Thai fish curry.Gumbo.

Skewer it and grill with garlic butter or something. Serve with rice or jacket spud .

Next time, take the potatoes in the microwave rather than boiling. Scoop out the flesh and there's yer mash.

It's taken me 30 years of cooking to work that out.

btw there's no need to defrost fish pie mix before using. Much fish pie talk on this thread.

bake not take

Bake the potatoes in the oven. When they are done, scoop out the skins and mash the potatoes with butter, milk etc.

No need to peel at all.

Oh, x post.

Great minds, HandMade :)

Handmade and Jenai- that is a brilliant idea. How did I burn many a pan of boiled potatoes before I realised this?
I feel quite smug with this knowledge now :)
