Fisherman's Pie Recipe • A Flavorful Fish Casserole! | Club Foody

 

Casseroles are the ultimate comfort food. There are so many nice recipes to choose from like my Tuna Casserole, Shepherd’s Pie, Turkey Tetrazzini, Southwest Beef Casserole, Lamb Keema, Hamburger Helper, and many more. There is one that I enjoy making especially during the cold months and it’s my Fisherman’s Pie!
 
This casserole is so easy to make plus the flavors are amazing! It’s a delicious dish to serve your family and a great way to enjoy fish and seafood. There’s nothing elegant about it but it sure is a lovely recipe to add to your folder! With creamy mashed potatoes, vegetables, herbs and spices, this is what I call a “yummy in the tummy” dish!
 
Poaching is one of the steps used for this Fisherman’s Pie recipe. I use whole milk for that and it makes such a big difference. You must wonder why I’m poaching in milk versus broth or plain water. Whole milk contains fat therefore it enhances the flavor of the fillets and adds creaminess to the fish. To amplify both taste and texture, use half-and-half instead.
 
Now depending on the thickness, poaching fillets gently on medium-low doesn’t take that long… 3 minutes is usually what I go for. If they’re poached too long, they might fall apart and that’s not the result we’re looking for. We want to be able to take the fillets whole and then shred them with forks after. When it comes to shrimp, a minute is sufficient otherwise they’ll turn rubbery.
 
After poaching the fish and the shrimp in the milk, don’t throw it out and reserve it. There will be a skin formed due to cooking; skim it off and simply discard it. The total amount of the reserved milk should be around 3 cups and more than likely, you’ll be using about 2 ½ to 2 ¾ cups. After adding the cornstarch, if the texture is way too thick, you can always add a little bit more.
 
Last year I received a potato ricer as a gift… okay a shared gift for both David and I! This is the kitchen tool I use for my potatoes in this recipe and it gives such a nice texture. Prior to this “gift”, I used a potato masher and although I was doing a pretty good job, the potato ricer is much better giving a smoother texture. If you own a food mill, this is another option.
 
Casseroles are a favorite among home cooks and this Fisherman’s Pie is another one to add to your folder. The combination of ingredients goes so well together making it a delicious weeknight dish to serve to your family.
Bon Appétit!
