When I started blogging about food, I should probably have started with these delicious Fish Pies. This is because I sold them for a while during my university days. The first day I made them for sale, my course mates bought everything!
Oh the magic of flavourful fish rolled in pastry!
Fish pies are very similar to fish rolls. They are all pastry filled with fish with slight differences in the mode of preparation.

Sold to Christ says
It looks so good.
And making me hungry. I hope to buy some flour soon and try some of this your baking recipes.
I got put off one day when I tried to make samosa from one naija blog I saw and ended up with hard meat pie. That was the day I realized that not everyone can write a recipe well. I thought everyone was like dooneyskitchen who will describe strange recipes and you will get it right even the first time.
Yours too are similar to dooneyskitchen. Well explained and easy to understand recipes, even for novices.
Precious Nkeih says
Your words are too kind. I love dooneyskitchen! Thanks dear. Please let me know how it turns out when you try. Have a blessed weekend!

claudine efenge says
Precious my oven is bad oh, i don't know whether to resort to the baking technique we used in the 90's.... baking with sand in a macocotte pot.... i'm drooling over the pictures. can i put in a baking pan and bake in a pot?
Precious Nkeih says
You can very well use that technique, Claudine. That's the technique I used when I made fish pie for business. I never had an oven.

OMG... I made some yesterday and it was super amazing. Recipe is easy to follow and it's simply delicious! I didn't have any ginger or garlics at home so I used white pepper instead. Thanks so much Precious for this wonderful recipe. I'll definitely try out another one this weekend ����

Hi, thanks for sharing this beautiful recipe. I do fish pie at home, but I bet this recipe has some great tricks I didn't know about. There is a little plastic equipment that can be used instead of the fork. I saw it being used at Southwest Farmers market in Arlington TX, asked the Baker n they said they didn't know what store it came from. I couldn't push further for details about this magic tool. It is a circular plastic where you place the dough, place the filling in the middle, then fold the plastic. It seals the edges just the same way the fork does and cuts of the remaining dough in a matter of seconds. Please kindly share if you ever come across any such equipment. It is supper time saving. Thanks
Precious says
Thanks for sharing, Mispa! I actually recently bought the circular plastic tool. I should do a post about it. Thanks dear!
Adams says
They look delicious. I'll recipe sometime.
Bethy says

crescence ribouem says
Please precious i'm francophone and my english is not good enough ooo can i have the reciepe in french.thank's in advance
Precious says
Hi Crescence, my French is not that good too. Try searching for "translate to French from English" on Google then translate the ingredients and instructions using an online translation tool.
Clotilde says
Hello Precious, thanks for such and easy to understand recipe. I wish to find out if with this recipe instead of baking, one can fry them using vegetable oil or maybe you can suggest what to add or subtract from this recipe if someone is to fry instead of baking them. I have developed a strong interest in cooking as a whole these days that i don't understand.
Precious says
Hi Clotilde, yes you can fry them. Just know that yours might not be as smooth as mine. They might have a few holes on them due to the baking powder but that's okay. They will still taste delicious!
And yay! for the interest in cooking. Please let me know how they turn out.
Tiffany Tracz says

Monkam Annette says
Great recipe I enjoyed it
Precious says
Glad you did, Annette!
Patty Takwa says
Wow the recipe is so easy to follow. Please precious can I fry? And if I do will it come out the same as the baking method?
Precious says
Hi Patty, yes you can fry. If you choose to do so, skip the brushing with egg part. Also, it doesn't come out the same as the baked version. The fried version won't be as smooth on the outside.
Yvette Vusheng says
Thanks Mummy P, but if u want to deep fry the pie how is it done?
Precious says
Just heat oil and deep fry, dear.
Mary Stalin says

Ngalim Mengla says
Thanks Mommy Precious for this wonderful recipe....i will try it on saturday.I know it will come out great.
Sama princidel says
Mommy what if I use charcoal to bake and an empty pot those it have any problem
Precious says
You can add sand to the pot to create an oven. Then bake the pies in the pot. It should be a large pot so you can bake a good quantity at once. Hope this helps.
Christina says
Hi Aunty Precious. I truly believe you're a God-sent in my case. Thanks for thé delicious And easy-to-follow recipes. Please i wish to know how much money you used to sell your fish pies for. I'm a little out of cash And i'm convinced they'll be as addictive as your fish rolls. Also, i don't have an oven...
Precious says
Hi Christina, I used to sell them for 100 frs or 50 frs. But that was years ago so the price could be different now. I suggest you ask around to see how much others sell their fish pie then you can make a price based on that and on the profit you will get. For the oven I didn't have an oven either when I did this as a business. I used a large heavy iron pot. I would put lids of other pots into the pot and heat up to form an oven then I would bake on top. You could use sand or stones in the pot too. I hope this helps and wishing you the very best!
Christina says
Thanks so much. Great tips.
Nahbila says
Hello ma'am can I use my gas cooker as a form of baking with sand inside the pot
Christina says
Thanks so much. Great tips.
Precious says
You are most welcome, Christina.
Carine says

Precious says
Hi Carine, no eggs are not needed.
