Congratulations on posting your first recipe Brunette.  Fish pie is a very English thing and I have done the one from the UK site a couple of times which has impressed visitors no end.  It is comfort food at it's best although with fish prices being so high, it is no wonder we don't have it more often. However, your quantity of fish is low enough to make this more affordable. Thanks for posting your recipe.

hey ladies

let me know if you do make it, it's my first TMX adaptation of a favourite recipe so it would be great to know what other people think of it.

Judy - yes, fish is very expensive here so I just use a moderate amount of strongly flavoured fish (I really recommend including salmon and a smoked fish (cod or haddock) so that you get a good flavour. You can also pad it out with more veg - I sometimes add peas or spinach or both!

Great effort Brunette and well done. It looks easy to follow and make.
