Delivering for New Year’s from the 27th to the 31st December direct to your door.

This fish pie was inspired by the pie’s my mum used to make for us when we were kids. My mum really loves fish but had never had a good recipe for a fish pie, I decided to make this one for her and she loved it. It’s highly adaptable so if you want to use a variety of seafood instead of white fish the sauce will still compliment the flavours too.

Step 1
Put flour and salt in a bowl and rub in the butter until it looks like breadcrumbs.

Building Your Pie
Step 1
Roll out your dough, with a little flour on the bench to about 2mm thick. Cut to the size of your pie dish, decorate or leave plain. Make a 5cm hole in the centre of your pie dough so it has a steam hole. (You want the dough to be 3cm larger than the pie dish you are using).
Step 2
Into your pie dish, spoon about 3 tablespoons of sauce and add a layer of snapper pieces. Repeat this step till each dish is filled 2cm from the top.
Step 3
Cover your pie filling with your pastry, making sure you press the edges around the dish. Brush the top with your egg yolk mixture.
Step 4
Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden. Stand for 5 minutes and enjoy! Serve with truffled potato puree.
