Fish pie

A fish pie is a type of dish made with a pastry crust and typically filled with mashed potatoes, fish, and other seafood. The dish is popular in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.

The earliest known recipe for fish pie dates back to the 13th century. The dish was made with a variety of different fish, including salmon, trout, and eel. Over the years, the recipe has evolved to include different ingredients, such as cheese, peas, and carrots.

Today, fish pie is a popular comfort food that can be found in many restaurants and cafes. The dish is often made with salmon or cod, and is often served with a side of vegetables or salad.

Advice

When making fish pie, it's important to use fresh, high-quality fish that is suitable for baking. If you are using frozen fish, make sure to thaw it completely and pat it dry before adding it to your pie. Be sure to season your fish with salt and pepper before adding it to the pie. To give your fish pie a creamy texture, add some cream or milk to the fish mixture before adding it to the pie crust. To make sure your fish pie is cooked through, use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pie. Finally, for added flavor, you can top your fish pie with a crunchy breadcrumb topping before baking.
