Fish Pie – Pub Grub

Fish Pie – Pub Grub

Fish pie is a traditional British dish, often referred to as fisherman’s pie. I found a recipe on TikTok but I also added a slight twist to the recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 3 potatoes
  • 1 cup of thick cream/ cooking cream
  • 1 piece of white fish (any kind, diced into cubes)
  • 1 leek [thin slices (Half-Moons or Rings)]
  • 4 knobs of butter
  • A handful of flour
  • A handful of minced parsley (optional)
  • A handful of minced dill (recommended)
  • A handful of cheese (melted cheese or parmesan, whichever you prefer)
  • Half lemon juice
  • Half shallot (diced)
  • Half carrot (diced)
  • Garlic salt and Dasida (Korean beef stock)

Instructions:

How to prepare the mash:

  • In a pot of boiling water, cook the potatoes up to 15 minutes.
  • Drain the water when the potatoes are done and add 1 knob of butter, a dash of salt and 2 tablespoon of cooking cream. Mash them well.

How to cook the fillings of the pie:

  • In a cooking pan over medium heat with some olive oil, add the leek and sauté until it turns slightly golden. Then, sprinkle in a handful of flour and continue to sauté until it emulsify.
  • Add the carrot to the pan and sauté until it begins to soften, then add the fish and continue sautéing both.
  • Pour the thick cream or cooking cream into the pot and season it with parsley and dill leaves. Feel free to add 3 knobs of butter to the mixture if you want some buttery taste. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then season the filling with garlic salt and dasida powder. Before taking the pan off the stove, stir in some cheese.
  • Pour the filling into a glass pie or casserole dish before spreading the mashed topping over it. If you want adding some pop on your mash, use a fork to swirl the mash in circular patterns.
  • Place the filling in the oven using the grill setting, and grill it for 8 to 10 minutes.

When the potato starts to turn golden, our pie is ready to be served!
