Why does this healthy fish pie work?

This British fish pie is a one-pot dish that is super easy to make and can be budget-friendly to cook as you can use any fish or seafood you have on hand or can use any fish trimmings or scraps. Give it a try and ask your fishmonger for a selection of fish scraps They will charge you less than any supermarket.

I have been making quite a few fish dishes lately to make our healthy eating a reality, and this low calories and super easy fish pie recipe is the latest fish dish in the collection.

We particularly love this easy fish pie recipe as it is delicious, lower in calories, it's high in nutrients, and, the best part, of course, is that it's so, so easy to make. No pastry involved, no potato mash, no mess, no fuss.

If any leftovers make a great work lunch the next day, we all love a homemade cooked work lunch the next day.

🥘 Ingredients

Making this easy fish pie recipe is as you guessed, very, very easy, and here's what you need:

  • mixed fish (hake, cod loin, and haddock)
  • spring greens (I used collard)
  • butter
  • fennel
  • celery sticks
  • shallots
  • leek
  • garlic
  • milk
  • nutmeg
  • sea salt
  • pepper 
  • grated cheddar cheese
  • fresh dill 

For the topping:

  • potatoes - peeled (or not), thoroughly washed especially if the skin is left on, and sliced into super thin slices (as thin as you can make them - using a mandolin would really help);
  • some grated cheese to sprinkle over

🔪 How to make an easy fish pie recipe?

A bit of chopping, a bit of singing, a sip of wine, and... ta-da!

Step 1

Gather the ingredients and preheat the oven to 190C or 375F. Prepare one big or two smaller ovenproof dishes. You may slightly grease that/them if you like. To make this one pot choose a skillet and do all the cooking in that and then transfer it into the oven.

Step 2

Make the pie mixture with the fish and the vegetables and cook that.

Step 3

Top with sliced potatoes and some cheese and transfer into the oven. Place the pie(s) in the preheated oven and cook for 20 min at 190C/375F. Take out and add the grated cheese. Cook for a further 10 minutes.

🤹‍♂️ Variations

  • Give the pie a little crunch with some panko crumbs.
  • Add extra flavor to the sauce with some chopped tarragon or chives.
  • Add some boiled eggs by chopping 3 or 4 hard-boiled peeled eggs. Sprinkle the chopped eggs over the sauce mixture just before topping with the potato slices.
  • A sprinkle or two of dry white wine will add a fab flavor to the sauce. Just add this when cooking the veg.

🍽 Serving suggestions

Serve while hot along with a nice leafy salad or as it is. Goes well with some homemade rye and linseed bread.

❓What makes a good fish pie mix?

A fish pie is a pretty adaptable dish – as Jamie Oliver points out, I hardly ever make the same one again. You can certainly use any seafood you like. Starting with mackerel to mussels, so it's a good opportunity to experiment with other even totally new to you fish varieties.

Mussels are a great cheap and flavorsome option for those that like them (I do), and prawns or even scallops for real fancy and lush fish pie. I sometimes add anchovies too for extra flavor and saltiness.

The most important bit is to get the base to be a nicely flavored one, any firm white fish, like cod, pollock, or coley to make it more sustainable.

Having a chunk of something smoked is definitely a must as far as I like it, it brings a real depth and richness to the dish as well as (again!) making it more sustainable since we have really good smoked fish available to buy online or in supermarkets like haddock or salmon.

💭 FAQs

What to have the fish pie with?

We love it with a nice salad like this red cabbage and carrot salad
Peas, sweetcorn, mange tout, and snow peas are fabulous side options to this fish pie.
We love it with simply cooked or boiled green beans, kale, broccoli, asparagus, or boiled/baked carrots too.
Or with these best and simplest flat beans - oh, so delicious!

How can I store fish pie?


Refrigerate leftover fish pie in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Can I freeze it?


Yes, absolutely! You can freeze the whole pie or any leftover pie in the actual baking dish or an airtight container. It can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Thaw the frozen fish pie in the refrigerator overnight. Bake it covered in a preheated 190C/375F oven for about 30 minutes, or until it's piping hot.

    Love this version of fish pie. In the past, I've made it with mashed potatoes but that really does take longer and uses more pots etc. This is so much better!

    It's like a pot pie with fish! What a great idea and it makes dinner so easy with just one dish. Love the fennel incorporation and especially love the topping of crispy cheesy potatoes.
