Reason being, we both hate fish pie. It has been a long and drawn out hatred that stems from childhood, it does cut me deeper as until recently I have disliked fish, where as she has always been able to cope. But one thing we both couldn't cope with was Mum's fish pie. (Sorry Mum).
I can't really tell you why we hated it, but I can tell you we used to pour it into sandwich bags and hide it in the draws of the wall unit in the lounge so Mum would think we had eaten it. She found the bags months later, all rotten and stinking and thought they were our hidden school sandwiches that we didn't want. She will now know the truth. (Sorry Mum).
Anyway this obviously explains why I have never made fish pie before. And today is the day fish pie and I made friends.
Recipe taken and adapted (replaced shelfish with an extra leek, took out the double cream and used goats milk so my son could have some) from Tesco Real Foods magazine Oct-Nov 2011.
