Homemade fish pie has never been easier! Simply combine a creamy fish filling with fluffy jacket potatoes and cut the preparation time in half. Preparing the fish in this way means it cooks perfectly and doesn’t break up. The key is to get the potatoes cooking while you assemble the other ingredients. This recipe is part of a Budget family microwave meal plan. In March 2023 it was costed at an average of £6.67 when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. It is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.
