Hi redballoon,

We have a thread on making Fish Pie that has lots of recipes, so I've merged your thread with it as it helps to keep all the suggestions together. Good luck with making your pie.

Trying to work out what's the cheapest fish I can put into it without it ending up as flakey mush!

Is haddock more expensive than cod generally? I'm so hopeless with fish :rotfl: I know mackerals are cheap but I think they'd fall apart?

Thanks! :beer:

I use all types of white fish in my pie.... whatever has been reduced at the supermarket. But the cheapest i'd say pollock add haddock, I have even used plaice or skate if it has been reduced enough, salmon too. Or a mixture!

(not mackrel or sadines though)

Gryfon

Thanks! So any sort of white meat then?

Shall take the children later as they like going to the fish stand

Hi Gryfon,

I usually buy fish when it's reduced (any kind) and keep it in the freezer until I have enough to make a pie.....frozen prawns, hard boiled eggs and peas or brocoli help to pad it out too.

This older thread might help you: Value Frozen White Fish

I'll merge your thread with the main Fish Pie thread as it helps to keep all the questions and answers together.

I am trying to use the contents of my freezer up before my next big shop. I have some coley fish portions and was thinking about making a fish pie. I do have some ready made parsley sauce (Shame on me:rotfl: )and some potatoes. What else can I put in to make it yummy. I could pop to my corner shop for some little bits but its only a little shop so not too much.

Thanks

Hi sickofhavingnomoney,

I always put some hard boiled eggs and peas in mine. We have a great thread on Fish pie that should give you lots of ideas, so I'll merge yours with it as it helps to keep all the suggestions together. Good luck with making your pie.:)

My mum used to make tuna fish pie by cooking peas, mashed potato and mushroom sauce in similar quantities to that we would have in a usual meal. She would put two or three tins of tuna in the bottom of an oven dish followed by the peas and the mushroom sauce with the mashed potato going on the top. She then put it in the oven. I'm not sure of the time or temperature she did it for but as everything would already be cooked first you'd just need to make sure it's piping hot. It's not as fancy as some of the others in the thread but we always liked it and tinned tuna is fairly cheap/easy to get hold of.
