Elevate your home cooking with our Fish Pie Mix, a carefully curated blend of off-cuts from cod, haddock, trout, salmon, pollock, and coley. This mix offers a variety of flavours and textures, making it an excellent base for classic dishes like fish pie and bouillabaisse.
Each 500g pack contains a mixture of these fish frozen together in a solid lump. This approach ensures that you receive a generous, mixed portion that is perfect for creating rich, hearty meals. The off-cuts used in this mix are carefully selected to maintain a high standard of quality and taste, ensuring that every bite delivers the freshness and flavour you expect from UK-sourced fish.
The Fish Pie Mix is designed for convenience, allowing you to defrost the entire pack at once and use it according to your recipe needs. Whether you’re preparing a comforting fish pie, a flavourful seafood stew, or a classic bouillabaisse, this mix provides a versatile and cost-effective solution.
Preparation Tips:
- Defrosting: Thaw the entire lump in the refrigerator before use. For faster defrosting, place the mix in a sealed container and submerge in cold water.
- Cooking: Once defrosted, remove any bones and break the fish into chunks. Incorporate into your recipes as desired.
Please note while we strive to remove all bones, some may still be present in the mix. We recommend checking the fish carefully before cooking.
