Classic Fish Pie Recipe

A creamy but light fish pie recipe. This is one of my favourite comfort food recipes. This classic fish pie recipe is quick and easy to make, so I highly recommend giving it a try!

I like to enjoy my fish pie on its own, with beans, or with steamed veg! Its a very versatile recipe, to suit all your family’s taste!

Ingredients  

  • 1 kg Potatoes
  • 30 g Butter
  • 30 g Plain Flour
  • 400 g Fish pie mix (salmon, cod, haddock)
  • 1 tsp Mustard
  • Frozen or fresh peas
  • Frozen or fresh sweetcorn
  • Fresh parsley & chives

Can you make fish pie in advance?

You can make the fish pie in advance by making the pie, covering it with the mashed potato, cover with cling film and refrigerate until baking. This is better than baking it and reheating it again which could result in the fish being overcooked and dry.

Equipment

  • 1 Oven Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg Potatoes
  • 30 g Butter
  • 30 g Plain Flour
  • 400 g Fish pie mix (salmon, cod, haddock)
  • 1 tsp Mustard
  • Frozen or fresh peas
  • Frozen or fresh sweetcorn
  • Fresh parsley & chives

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas mark 6.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil from cold water and then simmer until soft.
  • When cooked, drain the potatoes and mash with a splash of milk and a tbsp of butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a new saucepan, add 30g butter and 30g plain flour and heat gently until the butter has melted, stirring regularly. Cook for 1-2 mins.
  • Gradually whisk in 400ml milk and bring to the boil, stirring to avoid any lumps and sticking at the bottom of the pan. Cook for 3-4 mins until thickened.
  • Take the sauce off the heat and stir in 400g mixed fish, 1 tsp mustard, fresh herbs, sweetcorn and peas. Spoon into your oven dish or 6-8 ramekins.
  • Spoon the mash potato on top and sprinkle with a handful of grated cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Bake the fish pie in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden and bubbling at the edges. I serve mine with added vegetables and refrigerate the leftovers if needed.
