When I received his new book, Save with Jamie, I was delighted. I love all his money-saving tricks and tips and the fact that he makes expensive ingredients stretch over a few meals. This fish pie is one of those meals. Jamie advocates using frozen fish because as he says, why use beautiful fresh fish when you’re going to be using it in something like a pie? I differed from Jamie’s recipe slightly and used frozen hake and frozen haddock as I found the frozen salmon a little expensive. I also used prawns as I think they are necessary to add some texture. Jamie uses frozen spinach in his pie but I omitted this. I really loved that Jamie mixed pea puree with the mash for the topping. Not only did it add sweetness to the pie but it also tinted the mashed potatoes a beautiful minty green which looked so beautiful with the coral of the haddock and the prawns.
