Fish Pie

[jakep]

I have never made one!
Some of the online recipes say to poach the fish first and some say to put the raw fish in the sauce.
I will be making it on Friday for Saturday. Anyone know if it makes any difference to taste, consistency, storage etc
Thank you

I always make mine with raw fish.

I put raw fish in the dish, cover it with the sauce, spinach and potato and cook in the oven for half an hour .

I poach the fish in milk, peppercorns and a bay leaf and then remove them and use the milk to make the sauce. I doubt it makes a huge difference though.

Thank you all. Seems either way makes a good fish pie.

One of the few dishes that are crap the day after. Don't make it the day before.

I too poach the fish in milk then use the milk to make the sauce.
