When I was buying the ingredients for the annual seafood lasagne, I knew
I needed enough to double the amount of sauce as no matter what the
recipe, there is *never* enough sauce. The doubling factor mistakenly
influenced everything else and I bought too much fish and shrimp.
Therefore, I decided to use it up, with some long-stored steelhead trout
in the freezer and make fish pies.
I poached the trout in fish stock (Knorr cubes) and flaked it. I made a
white sauce by infusing milk with shallots and bay leaves - adding it to
a roux made with butter and flour. Then I formed alternating layers of
sauce, Steelhead, sole and shrimp in a deep pie dishes, topping them off
with mashed potato. Baked for about 30 minutes at 350F, the smallest one
was delicious. The others will go into the freezer for later.

No! English fish pies are most often a fish version of Shepherd's Pie.

OMG....YUCK!
I love fresh fish filleted and broiled with lemon and onions.
Other than that, you can keep your fish recipes.
Even breaded and fried is overkill to me.

I have seen a couple English cook show hosts make fish pies. They talk
about how wonderful they are are they make them and when they eat them.
If I was at someone's house and it was the meal offered I would eat it,
but I have never been inspired to try making one and I doubt that I
would order one on a menu.

Same with me, Dave. I would eat one at someones house but never order
one on a menu and I'll never even try to make one myself. Might be good
though. Many seem to love fish tacos. That's another that sounds
repulsive to me.

oh well.

Yeppers, never known anyone who likes fish turn down fish pie. My
father used to make a nice one with smoked haddock.

I have had fish tacos a number of times and always enjoyed them. Some
were better than others but none were repulsive.

You really should try one of the recipes I posted. They would, I am
certain, change your mind.

LOL! When he said, "a fish version of Shepherd's Pie,"
that just hit me as the nastiest thing ever to make.

Maybe that should be called "Fisherman's Pie."
Regardless....no thanks. :-D
