    what recipe are you using for fish pie. have always wanted to make my own, but buying all the different fish put me off. then yesterday in tesco i saw pack saying mixed fish for fish pie which is a great idea but for the £2.99 was not sure they would be enough fish for a pie unless you padded it out with boiled eggs and it had no prawns in it?
