Fish Pie

Anyone have a really nice Fish Pie recipe?

This recipe of Delia's is to-die-for:

... but it's a lot of work. I do it without the prawns (I'm allergic) and more haddock to fill up and it's still great.

I've also made this recipe (also Delia's), which is not a traditional fish pie, but is INCREDIBLE!:

The BF actually prefers the second one, so I've made it quite often. Good luck!

the last couple of times i've made one i've used smoked haddock poached in milk with dill and spinach, then when the fish is cooked lift it out and make the milk into a sauce with cornflour - then top with potato etc etc.

Not that you would, but... dont ever use the Homepride bottled Fish Pie sauce.
I thought it might be a good shortcut, but it is VILE.

Slightly off topic but I've never thought to cook fish poached in milk. Is it any good on its own like that?

I've only ever done it like the for the fish pie so I don't know. I thnk it would taste good with smoked fish but might be a bit bland otherwise.

i make a fish kebab, taco thingy and i cook the fish in milk.  it's like poached chicken in a way.  bland but i put a very spicy tahini sauce with it so bland is the order of the day.

You can do Indian/Thai things with fish cooked in coconut milk, but I would think plain milk would be too bland. I've only ever done it for fish pie, too, and then only with smoked fish.
