- Place the fish in a saucepan, pour over the milk, and gently simmer until just cooked. Remove the fish and set aside, reserving the milk.

I didn’t really get the hype. The flavors didn’t blend well for me, and the fish was kinda dry. I’ll stick to my usual recipes.
Fish pie? Really? I thought it was weird, but I actually enjoyed it! Guess I was wrong. 🙂
I’m really surprised that you liked it! Fish pie is such a unique dish, but I guess it can be a hit or miss. Good on you for being adventurous! 🙂
This was so delicious! I loved how creamy the sauce turned out. Will definitely make again.
