This is usually my treat food if i go to a nice restaurant near the sea because its just so delicious. If there's one thing in Ireland that's great its our fish.
If you have a local fish monger near you, seriously avail of it because the difference in flavor is unreal. I bought the fish mix for this pie in the new fish shop on Sundrive Road and talk about helpful.
The fella who owns it, i can't remember his name but if your unsure about cooking fish he will tell you everything you need to know and if your not sure of portions tell him how many people its for and he will give you the amount you need.
I asked for a fish mix for 4 people and he gave me 1Lb which works out exactly right even going by Weightwatchers measures. It cost me 4.65 which was great for the quality of the fish.
So i said that i would match a song to each of the dishes for this week and after deliberating whether or not to go for "was a little fishy in a dishy" but that was actually Scottish so i went for this one, The Divine Comedy the Seafood Song but there was also one other song from years ago that kept popping up in my head, its Sinead O Connor's "Mandinka". It reminds me of fish and chips on a Friday and me ma saying that lovely girl with no hair so here's this one aswel. So its three for the price of one today lol.
