Do you eat fish on Friday? Do you know where this tradition came from?
I think one of the most comforting foods during dank winter days is fish pie. It is warming, comforting and can be a really healthy option too. Great to come home too after work when you need something tasty and filling after a full week at work a great start to the weekend. Now our usual fare on Friday is pilchards on toast – but I will bring you this delight some other time.

300g mixed fish, this can be purchased from supermarkets already prepared, use a white fish, a smoked fish and salmon.
