Fish pie, featuring smoked
cod loin, salmon fillets and prawns, is one of my signature dishes, and having
neglected it of late I decided to make one for today’s tea; an immediate
setback was the absence of smoked cod loin on the fishmonger’s slab so instead I
bought some smoked basa (a fish not previously heard of that looked similar but
was considerably cheaper), and then in the hurly burly of the cooking, having
applied the creamy mashed potato and cheese topping, I noticed the pawns still
sat in their bowl on the worktop – so not one of my best efforts with two of
the three key ingredients missing, and although the basa seemed an acceptable
substitute the prawn garnish did not go down so well.
