Country Fish Pie

Fish Pie is a simple, unpretentious yet extremely good.

Mulligatawny Soup is a perfect appetizer for this fish pie. The pie itself is fantastic served with a green salad.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
  2. Slice the mushrooms
  3. Peel & de-vein the shrimp
  4. Peel and quarter the tomatoes. You can chop the tomatoes smaller if desired but make sure they are peeled.
  5. Place the fish in a baking pan with the milk then season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the fillets are cooked. Time will vary depending on the type of fish you use and the thickness of the fillets.
  7. Remove the fish from the oven and flake it into small pieces, being careful to remove and discard any bones as you go.
  8. Strain the milk in which the fish was cooked into a bowl.
  9. Melt 2 ounces of the butter in a pan then stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
  10. Gradually add the strained milk and cook over a low heat, stirring continuously until you have a creamy sauce.
  11. Saute the mushrooms, tomatoes and shrimp in 1 ounce of the butter for a few minutes then add them to the sauce together with the lemon and sour cream and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  12. Put the fish in an ovenproof dish and pour the sauce on top. Cover with mashed potato. Do not try to smooth the mashed potato; leave it bumpy and dot the remaining butter on top.
  13. Bake for 20 minutes then place the dish under the broiler for a few minutes until browned and serve immediately.
