Notes

Here are some top tips to help you succeed in making a Luxury Creamy Fish Pie like a pro:
  1. If you're unsure whether your fish is cooked through, use a thermometer. Our favorite is Thermapen.
  2. It is crucial to whip the mashed potatoes with creme fraiche until it's creamy and smooth. This creates a luxurious topping that balances the flavors of the fish filling.
  3. Adding a splash of dry white wine to the sauce can add a depth of extra flavor. It complements the seafood and brings out subtle nuances in the dish.
  4. If you want your food to be spicier, sprinkle some chili flakes on top of the potato layer before adding cheese.
  5. Bake the fish pie until it is golden brown on top, and the filling is bubbling. This ensures the potatoes are fully cooked, and the flavors meld together.
  6. After removing the fish pie from the oven, allow it to rest for a few minutes. This helps the flavors settle, making it easier to serve and enjoy.
  7. For convenience, the prawns should be bought without shells.
  8. Before serving, let it rest for 5 minutes for the best flavor and texture.
