    I have made this recipe from Rick Stein's book 'Seafood Odyssey' many times, and I love it! I have found that if I mash the cooked potatoes in the same pan I made the white sauce in, that residual sauce gives the mash a little extra richness and a very nice, slight crust to the mash topping of the pie.

    Mr Stein, when I was younger my dad used to make fish pie once a week and I used to moan that I hated it. Last weekend I caught a Kahawai fish and smoked it. I wondered what to do with it and then it struck me. A pie. I found your video on youtube after a lot of research and I made your fish pie. Mum said it was the best fish pie she'd ever had. I loved it to!! Thank you

      How sad you didn't ask your dear dad for his version of a fish pie - I bet it was way better than Rick Stein's cliched, modern version, which includes the non-authentic abomination of prawns!
      I'd be willing to bet your Pa's version was a classic, simple one - and far tastier and superior for it.

    Lovely. A straightforward method and easily adapted to ingredients on hand. I watched the video once and had a beautiful fish pie on the table for dinner in no time at all. Salmon, haddock, a handful of shrimp… I omitted the eggs. Grated nutmeg and loads of fresh dill and topped with a cauliflower mash whipped up with a little butter, Boursin and some Gruyère. Heavenly.

    I was thinking while watching, how could I do this gluten free? Other than swapping out the flour for another starch (which is easy), I thought switch the pastry on top for mashed potatoes. And bang, that's what he did! I think you could even experiment with mashed blends of potato with cauliflower, sweet potato, parsnip, etc. That might make for a pretty versatile meal that I think would be nice for the family as well as for guests. Thanks for the idea- I love basic recipes like this that you can tweak into lots of interesting variations!

    Great, trad method, Rick Stein. But a proper fish pie should contain only FISH! 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
    Preferably WHITE fish, either smoked or unsmoked (white fish is the traditional/classic choice for this dish), and/or some delicious fresh salmon, which also works beautifully with the pie's other elements.
    Crucially, the chosen fish should be skinless and boneless, to deliver the winning, irresistible, silky-smooth, fish pie mouth-feel, that everyone from four to 100, adores - and which made this dinner a winner!
    Fish, carefully poached in whole milk (milk which is later used to make the delicious, nutritious, white/parsley/cheese sauce that creates the ultimate comfort food), is the key ingredient of this dreamy, creamy British supper dish.
    What a classic, perfect fish pie does NOT need, is prawns, or any other kind of seafood/crustacean that isn't simple, conventional FISH. Keep it simple and classic folks, for the finest version of this classic recipe. If that means one kind of fish only, Go For It! Your guests will thank you.
    I guarantee if the fish is fresh, good quality and poached with love, you'll have empty plates and pleas for seconds right around that dinner table!

      What rubbish. The perfect fish pie is the one how you prefer. If you want to put eggs in, put cheese in, put some vegetables in, then put them in. This is cooking. Never let some condescending person tell you how it "should" be made, or what "proper" is. It's you that's eating it, not them, so tell them to where to go

      Whole Cloves are a mild spice when used whole like this. More potent and delicious when they're ground and used in fruit loaf & cakes etc.

    That's probably £30 of fish, and we live on an island.
