fish pie - merged threads

Hi
Hope some one can help.:)
I made a large salmon fish pie with sweet potato topping last night for dinner and I have half of it left.
I always reheat left overs the nest day for lunches etc but I am not used to re heating fish. Does anyone know if theres any risk?. I will cook it until it is piping hot. Seems such a shame to waste it. Thanks for you advice Tulip

Can I safely REHEAT a fish pie?

It is a home-made pie in the sense that the potatoes (for the topping) are all our own, and I put it together myself. But the rest of it is shop-bought from a supermarket: fish content (a pack of 3 types of fish) is fresh from a supermarket shelf, plus a ready-made sauce for a fish pie from another supermarket.

Very tasty too! But there is at least half left, after cooking it. It is of course possible for us to eat it cold, but we'd prefer to eat it hot.

I know the reheating rules re lots of food - e.g. DON'T reheat cooked chicken, etc.

But I am not aware of the rules re reheating fish! I wouldn't dream(!) of reheating shellfish, of course, as that is a BIG No-No; but as this fish pie mixture is all salmon/cod/etc., am wondering what to do . . .

Any advice?!

Why can you not reheat cooked chicken? I do it every day, in and out of work

Yes you can reheat fish pie, usual rules, make sure it's hot all the way through before eating. I batch cook fish pie and never had a problem

As you say, it contains no shellfish

Btw, sauce for fish pie is so easy to make. Here's my goto recipe for fish pie

The usual rule about re-heating cooked chicken is to do it only once, do it quickly and heat all the way through.
The more times you heat and cool anything, the longer the time spent at the dangerous temperatures around 50 degrees when bacteria multiply rapidly.

Thanks suki1964 & jackyann

Plus - as I never knew it was safe to reheat cooked chicken - I have learnt something extra! Yo! :beer:
(And I will of course only reheat BOTH foodstuffs so they're hot all the way through!)
