Fish Pie - Fish Week #Ii

Fish pie is a traditional British dish. Read more than almost it hither. If I were to brand this over again amongst more than seafood, I'll cite it equally Fisherman's pie.

During that time, my brother inward constabulary dines alongside us on week days.I idea this pie was huge and when my BIL said he won’t live coming for dinner, I was worried it won’t live finished, only I was wrong. My husband too I ate it all with pleasure. LOL.

So skillful!

wait at the ooozing sauce.....

I was shopping at Jusco, saw roughly dill as well as of a sudden thought of making Cullen Skink. It was a recipe that I bookmarked long ago. I knew I had potatoes at habitation too milk as well, and then I grabbed a purse of frozen sutchi, or which are Pangasisus dory (ikan patin) amongst a glamourous mention. I was glad these sutchi didn’t odor dingy as roughly power.

When I came dwelling together with checked the recipe for Cullen Skink, it called for smoked cod. Oh well...bought the wrong fish as well as can't observe it, tin can't go it too then.... fish pie came into existence instead.

I made and assembled this pie inwards advance (1pm) every bit I had to do whatsoever I tin can patch Reuben is sleeping. It wasn’t difficult merely I had to suit the recipe in a lot of ways. I ran out of onions only had leap onions in addition to shallots in addition to I definitely prefer these over onions. Spring onions are wonderful inward removing unpleasant fishy smells, ameliorate than ginger. When I was making the sauce I too establish that the recipe called for too much flour amongst besides petty milk. So, I had to add a lot more milk to thin downwards the sauce to a preferable consistency as well as indeed it came to an amount but overnice to cover the fish.

Yummy cheesy mash!

When my married man ate this, he said, this seems fattening.. good, err… it’sec just 55gm butter inwards all. If I were to prepare Chinese dishes, I’ll be using fossil oil also, too there’sec no cream inwards this. The creaminess came from the flour together with milk. Maybe the mash topping is creating a feeling of sinfulness, just inward actual fact, this dish is not that evil.

Psttt.. I made this inwards Jan 2012 when Reuben was nonetheless a sleepy babe :)
Now he's nigh three and running around
