Silly question: Does fish pie taste well?
Okay..I know it's a silly question, but I just saw this cooking show with an English dude named Rick Stein. He made this fish pie that looked incredibly tasty.

But the English tradition of food pies isn't that widespread here in Denmark, and I have never tasted fish pie.

So back to the headline: Is it tasty or what? My wife asked if I could make it for dinner tomorrow (she is Thai, so European cooking is completely foreign to her )

It was my first thought also when seeing the subject line.

My answer: Depends if she washes the "fish" first ... or if you are drunk. Actually, having both is optimal, washed fish and being drunk.

Dammit I was late to pick up on that line of thought. But now that I have, we're probably not going to have fish pie tomorrow.

(Now whether I will have it is another story )

But the question still stands, though. Is it good or not?

Of course it is good, just make sure it has enough salt in it (otherwise it will be very lame pie).

Fish pie does not taste well. Fish pie is incapable of tasting anything, it is neither conscious nor does it have a tongue.

Does it taste good? is what you meant.

Chegitz, just leave the fish pie in the sunshine for a couple of days, and it might develop a consciousness...

but I'm not so sure about the tongue though (which makes me wonder: are there alternative methods of 'tasting'?)

When I saw the title that is EXACTLY what I thought

Though you'd have to add a "Is this just an attempt at trying to appear pseudointellectual? " at the end

Try not to think of this thread as you put that first piece of fish in your mouth. Even more important, I wouldn't mention this to Mrs. Asmodean!!!

Seriously, tell us how you enjoy your wife's fish pie. Also, I wouldn't mind hearing about the dinner too.

So...it's in the oven now. I am quite pleased with the results so far. (I have obviosly tasted the sauce, and the mashed potatoes). Now let's see how it blends with the fish.

So...this was a great success.

I was a little apprehensive because the idea of eating mashed potatoes with fish seemed totally alien to me. But we both liked it very much, and luckily I made enough that we will have leftovers tomorrow.

As for the other "fish pie": That is for me to know, and for you not to find out

By the way, what type of fish do you put in it? Salmon? Cod? Whitefish?

Honest question this time....thanks for having a good sense of humor about my previous posts, Asmodean!

We made a luxury edition of this dish (we always like to make an extra effort on Saturdays: Buy quality raw materials, get some good wine to go with it, etc. )

The recipe: (in metric measurements...I don't know the other stuff)

Ca. 1 kilo of fish (we used lemon sole, angler and cod, and added some prawns and clams for good measure)
1/2 litre of dry whitewine
Some bayleaf (sp?)
4 large carrots
3 stalks of celery
1 small fennel
Some parsley
2 small onions
200 g. mushrooms
200 g. salted butter
App. 1 tablespoon flour
6 large potatoes
A bit of nutmeg
3 eggs

1) Boil the clams until they are done and open
2) Cut the vegetables into small pieces
3) Make a stock from water, half the whitewine, bayleaf, carrots, celery, fennel, 1 of the onions and the parsley by boiling it. Sift it before use
4) Boil, in another pot, the mushrooms and the last onion in butter and the rest of the whitewine
5) Cut the fish in smaller pieces and boil it lightly. Put the angler in the water first, as it's flesh is a bit firmer
6) Make the sauce by melting butter in a pot. Add the flour and stir. Add the stock and some of the water from the fish.
7) Put the fish, clams, mushrooms, prawns and eggs in a dish suited for baking in the oven. Pour the sauce on top.
8) Leave in refrigerator for app. 1 hour
9) Boil the potatoes, and mash them, adding milk, butter and nutmeg for seasoning.
10) Spread the mashed potatoes on top of the dish
11) Bake in preheated oven at 220 Celsius (425 F, Gasmark 7) for app. 25 minutes

EAT!!

Thanks! It actually sounds good. Especially adding the prawns and clams... Basically a seafood version of shepards pie.

You're welcome, Shogun. We'll definately have this again, sometime. But not too often. The price of fish in Denmark is pretty high, and except for the cod, these fish are amoung the priciest.

Rick Stein is excellent- he's a seafood specialist.

Sometimes we need to quash stereotypes about English cuisine.
