This is the most delicious way to serve the classic Fish Pie!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been wanting to upload a fish pie recipe for quite some time now. I went to test it, but after the success of my Cottage Pie Baked Potatoes, I thought there might just be another way of creating a fish pie (you see where we\u2019re going here \ud83d\ude02). Follow me\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A classic fish pie filling is made up of 4 components:<\/p>\n To thicken the sauce we\u2019ll be making a roux with butter and flour. It\u2019s important the sauce is nice and thick; a watery filling will make the potatoes go soggy!<\/p>\n I go for smoked haddock<\/strong>, cod<\/strong> and salmon<\/strong>. Other popular options for fish pie are king prawns<\/strong> and pollock<\/strong>. Some fishmongers\/supermarkets will also sell \u2018fish pie filling\u2019 packages! I recommend using some sort of smoked fish as it adds loads of flavour to the filling.<\/p>\n Process shots: fry leek (photo 1), stir in flour (photo 2), stir in milk and cream (photo 3), stir in herbs and seasoning (photo 4), add fish (photo 5), carefully fold in (photo 6).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the potatoes, you\u2019ll want to use baking potatoes like Maris Pipers or Russets<\/strong>. They also need to be pretty big so you can stuff enough filling inside. Just coat them in oil and salt and bake until crispy, golden and fluffy, then slice off the top and scoop out the centre.<\/p>\n To mimic a classic fish pie topping, we\u2019ll use the inside of the potato to make mashed potato. I like using butter<\/strong> and cream<\/strong> then going in with some cheddar<\/strong> and English mustard<\/strong> for a punch of flavour.<\/p>\n From there, you can add the fish filling to the centre of the potatoes, plonk on the mash then bake!<\/p>\n Process shots: coat potatoes in oil and salt (photo 1), bake (photo 2), slice off top (photo 3), scoop out centre (photo 4), add to bowl with mash fillings (photo 5), mash (photo 6).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nope! It cooks as the potatoes bake. Fish can easily overcook so definitely no need for pre-cooking.<\/p>\n The mash on top will be golden and crisp, with the sauce bubbling around the edges. Timings will depend on the size of the fish pieces \u2013 it should be opaque, flaky and piping hot. You can peek under the mash if you want to check.<\/p>\n Any fish that tends to dry out easily or is very delicate\/thin. Tuna springs to mind as a no-go.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I always like to finish with some extra chives! These are great as they are but veg is always welcome on the side i.e. green beans, peas, sweetcorn etc.<\/p>\n Alrighty, let\u2019s tuck into the full recipe for these fish pie baked potatoes shall we?!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\nFish Pie Filling<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
