It has a delicious cheesy mash topping, a really simple sauce and involves no pre-cooking of the fish at all. Just assemble all together for the ultimate comfort food. I think it’s easy to believe that fish pie can be one of those dishes that’s tricky to master, a bit of a faff and generally hard work. Not so! I knew there had to be a way to make a classic fish pie recipe that was super simple, and I’m very happy to report that THIS is it! This is honestly such an easy Fish Pie and is a fantastic go-to recipe for those cosy evenings with the family or for serving up to guests around the dinner table. This pie just feels good. It’s satisfying, nourishing and doesn’t involve using 5 pans or 20 techniques. This is the modified, simplified version of fish pie with a no-fail sauce, which doesn’t compromise on flavour. It’s also perfect for batch cooking to get those freezer meals in for the future.
Why you’ll love this simple Fish Pie recipe
⭐️ Hearty and comforting ⭐️ Simple and delicious ⭐️ Perfect for batch cooking As is always the case with these kinds of freezable dishes, this easy Fish Pie is perfect for making one for now and one for the freezer at the same time. Or you can prep it in advance and pop it in the oven when you’re ready, which makes it great for busy days or when entertaining. This Fish Pie, sometimes called Fisherman’s Pie as it’s closely related to Shepherd’s Pie, contains mixed fish pieces and prawns, covered in a tasty white sauce and topped with cheesy mash and breadcrumbs for a light crunch. It then does its thing in the oven for about 30 minutes, making this as quick and easy as it gets. In the freezer This recipe freezes well. I tend to make it all up to the point where you put it in the oven and then freeze. Allow to defrost fully and then bake in the oven on the day you want to eat it. Be sure to check that the pie is hot all the way through before serving (push a metal knife into the middle and when you pull it out it should be burning hot OR better still use a food thermometer like this one). If it’s batch-cooked pies you’re after, you could try my Easy Chicken Pie, Cowboy Pie or Shepherd’s Pie too. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
