Looks delicious - Cod and Salmon is a great choice for fish pie. Perfect timing too with winter round the corner, plenty of pies and stews to come 😋

@@Christophers-Assorted-Stuff My dad was one of the last few who had to do national service in the UK. Army taught him cooking, cleaning, sewing. He signed up twice. He and my mother would split the work and he became an excellent cook/mechanic. I've always enjoyed cooking I think because of his example.

[@ruthwilson539]

I’ve made this a few times it’s my new go to and my family love it. It’s so good I’ve made it for company too! And I’m not a fish person so that’s high praise from me! I do add a little bacon which I cook in the pan before the roux, I like the saltiness it adds. And I add a mirepoix to get some veggies in there.

My 1st time making a fish pie, I’ve been through lots of recipes and chosen yours as it looks so tasty and yet so simple! Thank you 🙌

[@bsmith8950]

I use cod and smoked haddock which gives a smokiness to it. I always make too much sauce just in case. My tip, after you pour the sauce and mix, I then put a layer of raw spinach over which stops the potato melting into the sauce.

[@atky9233]

Thank you bsmith very cool

[@CP-oe3rz]

I tried it with cod and smoked haddock too. It was sublime.

[@prolly2stoned420]

Oh man I was planning on adding spinach aswell! 👍🏻

[@iloveanimals1662]

[@swordoff7]

Because I was born in Basque Province, I'm familiar with Cod. Now that I live in California, I'm familiar with Salmon. And adding Prawns to the casserole makes for a fabulous trio. Adding aged cheddar and double cream makes the casserole a winner. Thank you for your brief and easy to follow video. My wife says she will substitute with white cauliflower mash with olive oil added. We're on a lower carbon menu. Thanks again. We understand your dedication.

[@ktjamlex]

I always add some smoked fish too.

[@CaptApril123]

Just cooked this and it's fantastic. Your presentation was excellent and made things very easy.. Thank you

[@adriantyler6911]

Been making mine exactly the same way for years too! My only difference is I add chopped parsley and dill to the sauce

[@nez9751]

This is very similair to my recipe too, using a mix of salmon , prawns and naturally smoked white fish adds a extra dimension to it. I tried a slightly different version using a mix of potato and sweet potato mash and not smoked fish, and a slightly curried sauce for the fish , I poached it in some stock plus some /curry powder, chilli and spices (not too much) then added some crème fraisce. I though it might be crap but it was really good served with some green beans.

[@isabellajones8535]

If I can offer a small tip - rather than make a plain white sauce, turn it into a Bechamel. Into the milk, a couple of hours or more before you will want to use it, add an onion, peeled, and halved. Stick about 6 cloves into the onion, and put in the milk with a couple of Bay Leaves, and 6 - 10 black pepper corns. Bring to a simmer, for 5 mins or so, then put aside to cool and absorb. The herb flavours enrich the final produce enormously. Most do not use them in the final sauce, but remover before adding the flavoured milk to the roux. However, I leave them through the entire process, removing when the pie is put together, to get maximum flavour addition.
