Asparagus are out of season. English asparagus are delicious in early summer. I have a good recipe for fish-pie as I make it once in a while. I can let you have it if you like or I could always let you know the next time I get the urge to cook it again. |

First time foods. Until today, I thought fish belonged in rivers or wrapped in old newspapers, but today, for the first time I had fish in a pie and it was delicious. | Click to see full-size image. |
 Was it home made Tom? I've never tried fish pie before but do fancy having a go at making one if you have a recipe link? |

I'll do my best but all of these quantities are approximate.
Just over one lb. of white fish 500-700g(I use either cod or haddock whichever is freshest and I like to use half smoked/half natural for extra flavour).
4oz butter
1 pint milk
2oz plain flour
4oz cooked prawns with shell off
2 hard-boiled eggs
A level desert-spoon of capers without their liquid
A load of chopped parsley
A squeezed lemon
Salt and pepper
You will also need to mash 1.5/2 lbs of potatoes to put on top of the pie and add plenty of butter and a couple of dollops(150ml) of sour cream to the mash but that comes later.
PS You will also need a deepish oval pie-dish as a round one will be very tricky to add the topping to.

No objections to using packet Bechamel or as we Brits call it White Sauce, however it's pretty simple and far more satisfying to make it from scratch with butter, flour and milk which includes the fish-stock from when you par-boiled it.
I believe the French(of Bechamel fame) call it a roux.

Those pics are amazing Rod.
There is so much incredible animal photography around these days that we've almost become blasé about it.

But what I logged in to say was, I have just this minute realised that The hunger Games and Game of Thrones are two different things.

I'm still using the original Hydro5 blade and it's still as sharp as ever.
Just in case anyone was wondering like...
