I need one without smoked fish in it, as we have moved to the USA and I can't bloody get it over here!
Any recommendations gratefully received :)

The Jamie Oliver one with boiled eggs in is pretty good. although it does contain a ton of cream!

this is my favourite

Jamie Oliver again.

Recipe calls for smoked haddock but I just used whatever fish I fancy at the time- it works just as well

Best fish pie recipe is the Guardian Perfect Fish Pie... I've done extensive Fish Pie research! This one is the right balance between reasonably easy and very tasty... I leave out the anchovies (urgh) and breadcrumbs (lazy) and in your case is substitute smoked fish for salmon....

Sorry can't do links on iPhone

And the chocolate cake in the same series (How to make the perfect....) is equally as amazing.

Thanks all!

Don't would you substitute the smoked fish for smoked salmon, or just normal salmon?

Oooh probably a bit of both... Smoked salmon would give it the nice smoky flavour and normal salmon would bulk it out. Smoked salmon is quite expensive though so it depends how decadent I'm feeling!

dunno if it's of any help, but you can get liquid smoke in the USA.

Hmm I've never experimented with liquid smoke but that could be the answer! Maybe we can have our 'normal' fish pie after all!
