Fish Pie

Today was one of those days. I tried to do too many things at once and in the end not nearly enough got done!

Quite awhile ago I made what I call a “Finnan Haddie Pie”. I made it up as I went along (no surprise!) using Grindstone Neck cold smoked haddock and some cod. I layered it up with veggies along with a garlic and sherry sauce in a couple of gratin dishes and topped it with mashed potatoes. Well, tonight I stumbled across a “Fish Pie” by Jamie Oliver. I haven’t made it yet (it’s been one of those days, remember?). But it’s a dead easy dump it all in and mix it up sort of recipe, which, ingredient wise, reminded me of the spirit of my Finnan Haddie Pie. Although, I have no problem admitting that there is no way on God’s green Earth I could dump all the ingredients in the way Jamie did! Mine would have to be more layered and arranged!

Anyhoo, go ahead and watch the short video of Jamie making his Fish Pie. I bet it will prove to be a good springboard for your own creation. Arranged or dumped - it’s up to you!
