Fish Pie



Fish is versatile and nutritious. You can steam, poach, bake, fry, grill, or even eat it raw(like cervichi/kinilaw/sashimi). Like meat, it is high in protein. When buying fish, look for firm and a fresh smell, red gills and bright eyes.


If fish is to be poached (like the recipe below), it should be in a well-flavored stock.


FISH PIE

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled
butter
milk
dash of pepper

500g white fish fillet (cod, haddock) (to be cooked in the poaching stock)
37g flour
2 eggs, harboiled
25g grated parmesan cheese

Boil potatoes until tender, drain and mash with a little butter, pepper and pepper. Set aside.

For the Poaching Stock

dash of black pepper
500 ml milk
1 onion, quartered
1 stick celery (optional)

8 peppercorns
