Delia has a good recipe...it's very rich though. Lovely and creamy though.

1. Mrs M is possibly the cleverest and certainly the most proactive moderator ever. Sherlock Holmes eat your heart out.

2. What, none of you lot ever heard that you use PARSLEY in a fish pie? or even DILL if you like it sorta Scandinaviany? shame on you.

that is all.

No, I'm not the cleverest, just the most dogged, who lives within waddling distance of the library.

Parsley? hmmmm.

I'll bid for that jar of capers. It's an artifact of great historical import. It will become the holy grail of U75

Bumped to say, I still have that jar of capers in the back of the cupboard!

I'd been registered only a fortnight when this thread aired originally, and i managed to miss it. So glad you bumped it! Comedy gold.

...and here are Urban's most famous capers!

In a perfect world, where fish were not endangered, in my opinion, the fish for fish pie should be two thirds fresh cod and one third smoked (Finnan) haddock.

The haddock is marginally less endangered than the cod, so you could substitute fresh haddock for fresh cod, but it doesn't have quite that chunky translucent flakiness that cod has.

I don't think that prawns, anchovies or capers are improvements.

Agreed, on all counts. Salmon is an abomination in a fish pie also. It's a comfort food - no strong flavours.

Have to say, I'm partial to a bit of mild cheese in the sauce, of which there should be plenty.

Indeed and deserves a timely bump due to the other thread
